Recording notes

From From A Room: Volume 1 (2017). From A Room: Volume 1 is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Chris Stapleton, released on May 5, 2017, through Mercury Nashville. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Fender '65 Princeton Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Chris Stapleton's other songs from From A Room: Volume 1, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.

  1. What guitar did Chris Stapleton use on "Without Your Love"?

    The guitar on "Without Your Love" (released 2017) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).

    Settings for this sound: Gain 4, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 6, Presence 5, Volume 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 "Without Your Love" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Without Your Love" 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.
