From No Reservations (1975). No Reservations is the first album by the American Southern rock band Blackfoot, released in September 1975 by Antilles Records. The album's personnel list credits Rickey Medlocke and Charlie Hargrett with guitars. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Blackfoot's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "I Stand Alone" Tone
What guitar did Blackfoot use on "I Stand Alone"?
The guitar on "I Stand Alone" (released 1975) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "I Stand Alone" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 6, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 6.5. 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 "I Stand Alone" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "I Stand Alone" 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.
