Recording notes

From Back Home (2005). Back Home is the seventeenth solo studio album by Eric Clapton. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Eric Clapton Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Eric Clapton's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.

  1. What guitar did Eric Clapton use on "Love Comes to Everyone"?

    The guitar on "Love Comes to Everyone" (released 2005) isn't documented; the Fender Eric Clapton Stratocaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck pickup on the guitar.

  2. What amp settings does "Love Comes to Everyone" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 4, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 6, Presence 5.5, Volume 6.5. 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 "Love Comes to Everyone" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Love Comes to Everyone" 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.
