From Night Attack (1981). Night Attack is the fifth studio album by Australian band The Angels, released in November 1981 through Epic Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Epiphone Sheraton II Pro through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the nearest rig we use for The Angels' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Fashion and Fame" Tone
What guitar did The Angels use on "Fashion and Fame"?
The guitar on "Fashion and Fame" (released 1981) isn't documented; the Epiphone Sheraton II Pro above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Fashion and Fame" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 5, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 6.5. 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 "Fashion and Fame" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Fashion and Fame" 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.
