From Maverick City Music, Vol. 3: Pt. 1 (2020). A slow, gospel-tinged worship song with sparse, clean guitar. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Fender Player Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue stands in. Use the middle and bridge pickups together and set the amp clean, just short of breakup. Tuning isn't documented here.

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