Recording notes

From Amos (2018). Amos is the second studio album by the American country singer Michael Ray, released on 1 June 2018 by Atlantic Nashville. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, a common rig for this kind of sound, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

FAQ

Common Questions About the "Get to You" Tone

  1. What guitar did Michael Ray use on "Get to You"?

    The guitar on "Get to You" (released 2018) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Telecaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

  2. What amp settings does "Get to You" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 4.5, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, 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.

  3. Can I play "Get to You" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Get to You" 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.
