From Raise! (1981). Raise! is the eleventh studio album by the American band Earth, Wind & Fire, released on October 23, 1981 on ARC/Columbia Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Earth, Wind & Fire's other songs from Raise!, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the middle+bridge pickups together.

What guitar did Earth, Wind & Fire use on "I've Had Enough"?
The guitar on "I've Had Enough" (released 1981) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Stratocaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: middle + bridge (position 4) on the guitar.

Settings for this sound: Gain 1.5, Bass 4.5, Mid 6, Treble 7, Presence 6.5, 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.
Can I play "I've Had Enough" 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've Had Enough" 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.
