From Mordechai (2020). Mordechai is the third studio album by American musical trio Khruangbin, released on 26 June 2020 by Dead Oceans and Night Time Stories. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Vintera '60s Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Khruangbin's other songs from Mordechai, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
Common Questions About the "One to Remember" Tone
What guitar did Khruangbin use on "One to Remember"?
The guitar on "One to Remember" (released 2020) isn't documented; the Fender Vintera '60s Stratocaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).

Settings for this sound: Gain 2, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 6, Presence 5.5, Volume 5. 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 "One to Remember" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "One to Remember" 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.
