From Wildcard (2019). Wildcard is the seventh studio album by the American country singer Miranda Lambert, released on 1 November 2019 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 Wildcard, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck+bridge pickups together.
Common Questions About the "Tequila Does" Tone
What guitar did Miranda Lambert use on "Tequila Does"?
The guitar on "Tequila Does" (released 2019) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck + bridge (position 3 / out-of-phase) on the guitar.

Settings for this sound: Gain 4.5, 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 "Tequila Does" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Tequila Does" 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.
