From A Funk Odyssey (2001). A Funk Odyssey is the fifth studio album by English funk band Jamiroquai, released on 29 August 2001 by Sony Soho Square. 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 rig we use for Jamiroquai's other songs from A Funk Odyssey, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the middle pickup.
Common Questions About the "Main Vein" Tone
What guitar did Jamiroquai use on "Main Vein"?
The guitar on "Main Vein" (released 2001) isn't documented; the Fender American Standard Stratocaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: middle pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Main Vein" need?
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 "Main Vein" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Main Vein" 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.
