From Locked In (1976). Locked In is the sixth studio album by the rock band Wishbone Ash, and their second with guitarist Laurie Wisefield, who had joined the band in 1974, released on 12 March 1976 by MCA Records and Atlantic Records in the US. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Flying V through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Wishbone Ash's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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