From Surface Sounds (2021). A driving, fuzzy blues-rock riff with a raw, saturated lead. It came out as a single in January 2020 and then on the album. Orange Amps' announcement of JJ Julius Son as an ambassador says he uses an Orange AD30 on tour, in the studio and at home, but the page does not date it or name his guitars, and no source ties a guitar to this song. So a Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s into an Orange AD30 stands in. Set a medium-high crunch on the bridge pickup and keep the low end tight. The rest of the album is in standard tuning, so that is assumed here.
Common Questions About the "I Want More" Tone
What guitar did KALEO use on "I Want More"?
The guitar on "I Want More" (released 2021) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).

Settings for this sound: Gain 6.5, Bass 5.5, 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 "I Want More" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "I Want More" 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.
