From In the Skies (1979). His second solo album, produced by Peter Vernon-Kell and recorded in the autumn of 1977, it was released in May 1979. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig to the one documented for Peter Green, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.

Settings for this sound: Gain 3, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 5, Presence 4, Volume 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 "Slabo Day" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Slabo Day" 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.
