From Foghat (1973). Foghat is the second album, and the second self-titled album, by the English rock band Foghat, released in March 1973. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the rig we use for Foghat's other songs from Foghat, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

Can I play "She's Gone" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "She's Gone" 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.
