From Montevallo (2014). Montevallo is the debut studio album by the American country singer Sam Hunt, released on 27 October 2014 by MCA Nashville. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Vox AC30HW2X Hand-Wired, the nearest rig we use for Sam Hunt's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.

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