Recording notes

From In a Perfect World (2013). In a Perfect World is the debut studio album by Irish rock band Kodaline. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Standard Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Kodaline's other songs from In a Perfect World, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.

FAQ

Common Questions About the "Love Like This" Tone

  1. What guitar did Kodaline use on "Love Like This"?

    The guitar on "Love Like This" (released 2013) isn't documented; the Fender American Standard Stratocaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck pickup on the guitar.

  2. What amp settings does "Love Like This" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 3.5, Bass 5, Mid 5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 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 Like This" 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 Like This" 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.
