From This One's Gonna Hurt You (1992). This One's Gonna Hurt You is the sixth studio album by the American country singer Marty Stuart, released on 7 July 1992 by MCA Nashville. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Marty Stuart's other songs from This One's Gonna Hurt You, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Hey Baby" Tone
What guitar did Marty Stuart use on "Hey Baby"?
The guitar on "Hey Baby" (released 1992) isn't documented; the Fender American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Hey Baby" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 5, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 7, Presence 6, Volume 6. 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 "Hey Baby" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Hey Baby" 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.
