From American Slang (2010). American Slang is the third studio album by New Jersey–based rock group the Gaslight Anthem. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender Deluxe Reverb, the rig we use for The Gaslight Anthem's other songs from American Slang, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in D standard (D G C F A D), a whole step below standard.

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