From On the Rocks (2017). On the Rocks is the debut studio album by American country music band Midland, released on September 22, 2017, by Big Machine Records. 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 "Out of Sight" Tone
What guitar did Midland use on "Out of Sight"?
The guitar on "Out of Sight" (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 "Out of Sight" 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 "Out of Sight" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Out of Sight" 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.
