From Dustin Lynch (2012). Dustin Lynch is the debut studio album by American country music artist of the same name. 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 Dustin Lynch's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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