From The Invisible Band (2001). The Invisible Band is the third studio album by Scottish rock band Travis, produced by Nigel Godrich, released on 11 June 2001 by Independiente Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Classic through an Orange Thunder 100H (TH100), the rig we use for Travis' other songs from The Invisible Band, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.
Common Questions About the "Follow the Light" Tone
What guitar did Travis use on "Follow the Light"?
The guitar on "Follow the Light" (released 2001) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Classic above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Follow the Light" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 4, Bass 5, Mid 5, Treble 6, Presence 6, 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 "Follow the Light" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Follow the Light" 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.
