From Never Enough (2023). Never Enough is the fourth studio album by American country music singer Parker McCollum. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Vintage '52 Telecaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Parker McCollum's other songs from Never Enough, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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