From Turn Around (2006). Turn Around is the fifth studio album by American musician Jonny Lang, released on 19 September 2006 by A&M Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Custom Shop 1969 Telecaster Thinline Heavy Relic through a Fender '65 Super Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Jonny Lang's other songs from Turn Around, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

The guitar on "Bump in the Road" (released 2006) isn't documented; the Fender Custom Shop 1969 Telecaster Thinline Heavy Relic above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

Settings for this sound: Gain 5.5, Bass 5, Mid 6.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 7. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.
Can I play "Bump in the Road" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Bump in the Road" 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.
