From One Thing at a Time (2023). One Thing at a Time is the third studio album by the American country singer Morgan Wallen, released on 3 March 2023 by Big Loud, Republic and Mercury Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender Deluxe Reverb (Blackface), the rig we use for Morgan Wallen's other songs from One Thing at a Time, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
Common Questions About the "Sunrise" Tone
What guitar did Morgan Wallen use on "Sunrise"?
The guitar on "Sunrise" (released 2023) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Telecaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).
What amp settings does "Sunrise" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 3, Bass 5, Mid 5.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 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 "Sunrise" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Sunrise" 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.
