From Whiskey Myers (2019). A heavy, bluesy Southern-rock shuffle with gritty, overdriven guitar. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Vox AC30HW2X Hand-Wired stands in. Set the amp at a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.

What amp settings does "Rolling Stone" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 6, Bass 6, Mid 6, Treble 6, Presence 5, Volume 7. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.
Can I play "Rolling Stone" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Rolling Stone" 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.
