From Heat in the Street (1978). Heat in the Street is a rock album by the Pat Travers Band, released in 1978 on Polydor Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Melody Maker through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the rig we use for Pat Travers' other songs from Heat in the Street, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the single pickup.

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