From Crisis? What Crisis? (1975). Crisis? What Crisis? is the fourth studio album by the British rock band Supertramp, released on 28 November 1975, by A&M Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Supertramp's other songs from Crisis? What Crisis?, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Can I play "Ain't Nobody but Me" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Ain't Nobody but Me" 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.
