From Ordinary Man (2020). Ordinary Man is a studio album by the English heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne, released on 21 February 2020 by Epic Records. The album's personnel list credits Andrew Watt with guitars on tracks 1-10, with Slash on tracks 1 and 4 and Tom Morello on tracks 8 and 10. Producer Andrew Watt, the guitarist on this track, has said the album's guitar tones ranged from an old 10-inch Supro to Orange heads. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this track, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through an Orange OR50 (Vintage) stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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