From Vamps (2009). Vamps is the debut album by Japanese rock duo Vamps, released on June 10, 2009. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Marshall JCM2000 DSL100, the nearest rig we use for VAMPS' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop D.
Common Questions About the "Love Addict" Tone
What guitar did VAMPS use on "Love Addict"?
The guitar on "Love Addict" (released 2009) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Custom above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop D (D A D G B E), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Love Addict" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 7, Bass 6, Mid 5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6.5, 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 "Love Addict" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Love Addict" 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.
