Recording notes

From Spitfire (1976). Spitfire is the third album by American rock band Jefferson Starship. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Jefferson Starship's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.

Common Questions About the "With Your Love" Tone

  1. What guitar did Jefferson Starship use on "With Your Love"?

    The guitar on "With Your Love" (released 1976) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Custom above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).

    Settings for this sound: Gain 5.5, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 7. 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 "With Your Love" without the original gear?

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