From A Funk Odyssey (2001). Their fifth album, produced by Rick Pope and recorded at Chillington in Buckinghamshire, released in late August and early September 2001. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Standard Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig to the one Jamiroquai is documented with, stands in. Set the amp to a clean, lightly driven tone and use the middle pickup. Standard tuning.

Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Love Foolosophy" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else.
