Recording notes

From Old Dominion (2019). Old Dominion is the third studio album by American country music band Old Dominion. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Vox AC30HW2X Hand-Wired, the rig we use for Old Dominion's other songs from Old Dominion, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

Common Questions About the "One Man Band" Tone

  1. What guitar did Old Dominion use on "One Man Band"?

    The guitar on "One Man Band" (released 2019) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Stratocaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

  2. What amp settings does "One Man Band" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 4.5, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 6. 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.

  3. Can I play "One Man Band" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "One Man Band" 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.
