Recording notes

From Rearview Town (2018). Rearview Town is the eighth studio album by American country music singer Jason Aldean. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Jason Aldean's other songs from Rearview Town, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Rearview Town" 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.
