From The Deed Is Done (1984). The Deed Is Done is the sixth studio album by the American southern rock band Molly Hatchet, released in November 1984. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the rig we use for Molly Hatchet's other songs from The Deed Is Done, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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