Recording notes

From One Emotion (1994). One Emotion is the fifth studio album by the American country singer Clint Black, released on 4 October 1994 by RCA Nashville. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Clint Black's other songs from One Emotion, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

Common Questions About the "Wherever You Go" Tone

  1. What guitar did Clint Black use on "Wherever You Go"?

    The guitar on "Wherever You Go" (released 1994) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Telecaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

  2. What amp settings does "Wherever You Go" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 3.5, Bass 5, Mid 5.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 5, Volume 6. 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 "Wherever You Go" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Wherever You Go" 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.
