From Punching Bag (2012). Punching Bag is the fifth studio album by the American country singer Josh Turner, released on 12 June 2012 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 Josh Turner's other songs from Punching Bag, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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