Recording notes

From Mule (2026). Mule is the fourth studio album by the South African country music singer-songwriter Orville Peck. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gretsch G6136T White Falcon through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Orville Peck's other songs, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the neck pickup.

Common Questions About the "Rehab Blues" Tone

  1. What guitar did Orville Peck use on "Rehab Blues"?

    The guitar on "Rehab Blues" (released 2026) isn't documented; the Gretsch G6136T White Falcon above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck pickup on the guitar.

  2. What amp settings does "Rehab Blues" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 2, Bass 5, Mid 4.5, Treble 6, 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.

  3. Can I play "Rehab Blues" without the original gear?

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