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.

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