From Love Is Here (2001). Love Is Here is the debut studio album by rock band Starsailor, released on 8 October 2001 by Chrysalis Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Telecaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Starsailor's other songs from Love Is Here, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck and bridge pickups together. Standard tuning.
Common Questions About the "Way to Fall" Tone
What guitar did Starsailor use on "Way to Fall"?
The guitar on "Way to Fall" (released 2001) isn't documented; the Fender Player Telecaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck + bridge (position 3 / out-of-phase) on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).
What amp settings does "Way to Fall" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 4, 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.
Can I play "Way to Fall" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Way to Fall" 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.
