From Rockisdead (2016). Rockisdead is the debut studio album by American rock band Dorothy, released on June 24, 2016 by Roc Nation. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Dorothy's other songs from Rockisdead, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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