From Legacy (1989). Legacy is a studio album by the American country rock band Poco, released in 1989. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Poco's other songs, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.

Can I play "Call It 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 "Call It 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.
