From Blind Faith (1969). Blind Faith is the only studio album by the English supergroup Blind Faith, originally released in the United States on 9 August 1969 on Atco Records, and in the United Kingdom on 22 August 1969 on Polydor Records and in Europe. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Firebird through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the rig we use for Blind Faith's other songs from Blind Faith, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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