From Risqué (1979). Risqué is the third studio album by American disco band Chic, released on Atlantic Records on July 30, 1979. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Vintage '62 Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Chic's other songs from Risqué, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the neck and middle pickups together.

Can I play "My Feet Keep Dancing" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "My Feet Keep Dancing" 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.
