From Grateful (2026). Grateful is the third studio album by the American southern rock band the Red Clay Strays. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Plus Nashville Telecaster through a Fender '65 Super Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for The Red Clay Strays' other songs, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.

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