From F-1 Trillion (2024). F-1 Trillion is the sixth studio album by American musician Post Malone. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster through a Two-Rock Classic Reverb Signature, the rig we use for Post Malone's other songs from F-1 Trillion, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.

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