From Razamanaz (1973). Razamanaz is the third studio album by the Scottish hard rock band Nazareth, released in May 1973 by Mooncrest Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson 1957 Les Paul Custom Reissue 3-Pickup Black Beauty through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the rig we use for Nazareth's other songs from Razamanaz, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Night Woman" Tone
What guitar did Nazareth use on "Night Woman"?
The guitar on "Night Woman" (released 1973) isn't documented; the Gibson 1957 Les Paul Custom Reissue 3-Pickup Black Beauty above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Night Woman" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 6, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 6, Presence 5.5, Volume 7.5. 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 "Night Woman" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Night Woman" 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.
