From Lost Without Your Love (1977). Lost Without Your Love is the sixth and final studio album by Bread, released in 1977. 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 nearest rig we use for Bread's other songs, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.

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.
