From The Way I Am (2026). The Way I Am is the sixth studio album by American country music singer Luke Combs. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Custom Shop 1956 Telecaster Heavy Relic through a Fender Deluxe Reverb, the rig we use for Luke Combs' other songs from The Way I Am, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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