From Evil Urges (2008). Evil Urges is the fifth studio album by My Morning Jacket. It was released by ATO Records on June 10, 2008. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Flying V through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for My Morning Jacket's other songs from Evil Urges, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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