Recording notes

From Belle of the West (2017). Belle of the West is the fifth studio album by American singer-songwriter Samantha Fish. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Fender Hot Rod DeVille 212 IV, the nearest rig we use for Samantha Fish's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

FAQ

Common Questions About the "No Angels" Tone

  1. What guitar did Samantha Fish use on "No Angels"?

    The guitar on "No Angels" (released 2017) isn't documented; the Gibson SG Standard above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

  2. What amp settings does "No Angels" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 6.5, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 7. 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.

  3. Can I play "No Angels" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "No Angels" 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.
