From Fresh Evidence (1990). Fresh Evidence is Rory Gallagher's eleventh and last studio album, his fourteenth album overall. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Custom Shop Rory Gallagher Signature Stratocaster Relic through a Marshall JCM800 2204, the rig we use for Rory Gallagher's other songs from Fresh Evidence, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Slumming Angel" 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.
