From Kelsea (2020). Kelsea is the third studio album by the American singer Kelsea Ballerini, released on 20 March 2020 by Black River Entertainment. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Kelsea Ballerini's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.

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