From Put Yourself in My Shoes (1990). Put Yourself in My Shoes is the second studio album by American country music singer-songwriter Clint Black, released on November 27, 1990. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, a twangy country-rock pairing, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Can I play "Loving Blind" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Loving Blind" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
