From The Weight of These Wings (2016). The Weight of These Wings is the sixth studio album by the American country singer Miranda Lambert, released on 18 November 2016 by RCA Nashville and Vanner Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Miranda Lambert's other songs from The Weight of These Wings, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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