From Southern Style (2015). Southern Style is the sixth studio album, and fourth country album, by the American singer Darius Rucker, released on 31 March 2015 by Capitol Nashville. 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, the nearest rig we use for Darius Rucker's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

Can I play "Homegrown Honey" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Homegrown Honey" 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.
