From Siogo (1983). Siogo is the sixth album by the American Southern rock band Blackfoot, released in 1983. 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 rig we use for Blackfoot's other songs from Siogo, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Can I play "Send Me an Angel" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Send Me an Angel" 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.
