Recording notes

From Home State (2018). Home State is the debut studio album by the American country singer Jordan Davis, released on 23 March 2018 by MCA Nashville. 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 rig we use for Jordan Davis' other songs from Home State, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Take It from Me" 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.
