From On the Rocks (2017). On the Rocks is the debut studio album by American country music band Midland. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Custom Shop 1953 Telecaster Heavy Relic through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Midland's other songs from On the Rocks, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Electric Rodeo" Tone
What guitar did Midland use on "Electric Rodeo"?
The guitar on "Electric Rodeo" (released 2017) isn't documented; the Fender Custom Shop 1953 Telecaster Heavy Relic above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Electric Rodeo" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 4, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 6.5. 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 "Electric Rodeo" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Electric Rodeo" 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.
