Recording notes

From I'm Still in Love with You (1972). A slow Memphis soul ballad with clean, tight rhythm guitar and sparse fills. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue stands in. Use the neck pickup and set the amp clean, just short of breakup. Tuning isn't documented here.

  1. What guitar did Al Green use on "I'm Still in Love with You"?

    The guitar on "I'm Still in Love with You" (released 1972) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Telecaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck pickup on the guitar.

  2. What amp settings does "I'm Still in Love with You" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 2, Bass 6, Mid 6, Treble 5.5, Presence 5, Volume 4.5. 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.

  3. Can I play "I'm Still in Love with You" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "I'm Still in Love with You" 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.
