From Songs About Us (2026). A big country-rock song with a bright, crunchy electric guitar. Premier Guitar's 2014 rig rundown of Jason Aldean's band puts Kurt Allison on EVH gear and a hollowbody, and the EVH interview with him dates from 2013, so neither describes this record. So a Fender American Professional II Telecaster into a Marshall JCM800 2203 stands in. Set a light-to-medium crunch on the bridge pickup and dig in harder for the louder sections. Tuning isn't documented here.

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