A track from Bridge of Sighs, Robin Trower's second solo album, released in 1974, which became his best-known record. Trower is a former Procol Harum guitarist whose blues-infused playing is often compared to Jimi Hendrix's. The sources available here don't name the guitar, amp or effects used on this record, so the Stratocaster and Marshall are a suggestion. Use the neck pickup with a loud, slightly broken-up amp, add a wah or a vibe if you want the swirling Trower sound, and play it slow with big bends. No transcription could be checked, so no tuning is given.
Common Questions About the "Lady Love" Tone
What guitar did Robin Trower use on "Lady Love"?
The guitar on "Lady Love" (released 1974) isn't documented; the Fender American Vintage II 1965 Stratocaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Lady Love" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 7, Bass 5, Mid 5.5, Treble 7, Presence 6.5, Volume 8. 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 "Lady 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 "Lady 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.
