From Voices of Babylon (1989). Voices of Babylon is the third studio album by the British band the Outfield, released during the spring of 1989 and which spawned an eponymous single. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for The Outfield's other songs from Voices of Babylon, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the middle and bridge pickups together. Standard tuning.
Common Questions About the "My Paradise" Tone
What guitar did The Outfield use on "My Paradise"?
The guitar on "My Paradise" (released 1989) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Stratocaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: middle + bridge (position 4) on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).
What amp settings does "My Paradise" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 5, Bass 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 "My Paradise" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "My Paradise" 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.
