Is This Love (2018 Remaster) amp settings — M-Vave Tank G V2
The Whitesnake guitar tone for “Is This Love (2018 Remaster)”, dialed in for a M-Vave Tank G V2 with a Fender Player Telecaster. Whitesnake - 1987 (2018 Remaster), signature chorus-drenched clean intro and verse arpeggios
1968 Gibson Les Paul Custom (bridge humbucker/out-of-phase split clean) into Mesa Boogie Coliseum / Marshall JCM800 clean with Roland CE-1 / Dimension D chorus and digital studio delay

01Tank G Compressor (Comp Slot)
Evens out the fingerpicked and arpeggiated clean transients
02Tank G Chorus (Mod Slot)
Essential 80s Dimension/CE-style lush stereo modulation
03Tank G Delay (Delay Slot)
Subtle dotted eighth/quarter note studio ambient delay (FX loop / post-amp)
The signature intro relies on John Sykes' pristinely clean, chorus-drenched studio platform rather than his searing solo gain. Because your Telecaster has single-coil pickups that are naturally brighter and thinner than a Les Paul, running the middle position (bridge + neck) with the tone backed off to 8 rounds off excessive bite while keeping the essential glassy chime. The Tank G clean amp model with moderate gain and high master headroom prevents any premature breakup on chord attacks. Clean verse to heavy bridge switch: engage the Tank G High Gain/Crunch amp slot and bypass the chorus for the distorted chorus sections.
