From Revolution (2009). Revolution is the third studio album by American country music singer Miranda Lambert. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Miranda Lambert's other songs from Revolution, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Dead Flowers" Tone
What guitar did Miranda Lambert use on "Dead Flowers"?
The guitar on "Dead Flowers" (released 2009) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Telecaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Dead Flowers" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 5, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 7. 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 "Dead Flowers" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Dead Flowers" 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.
