A track from the band's self-titled debut album, released on 2 September 2013 through Dirty Hit and Polydor and produced by Matthew Healy and George Daniel with Mike Crossey. It first appeared on the IV EP, one of four EPs the band released between mid-2012 and early 2013. The sources available here don't name the guitar or amp, so the rig is a suggestion. Use a clean to lightly driven bridge-pickup tone with a bit of chorus and delay, and play simple, chiming chords. No transcription could be checked, so no tuning is given.
Common Questions About the "Fallingforyou" Tone
What guitar did The 1975 use on "Fallingforyou"?
The guitar on "Fallingforyou" (released 2013) isn't documented; the Fender Player II Jazzmaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Fallingforyou" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 3, Bass 5, Mid 5.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 5.5, Volume 6. 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 "Fallingforyou" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Fallingforyou" 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.
What effects are on "Fallingforyou"?
The recording has chorus and delay on it. No source names the unit behind them, so this page doesn't guess one. ToneMirror maps each effect onto your rig - a pedal you own, your amp's own controls, or a block on a modeler - and says plainly when your rig can't make one.
