From Box of Secrets (2008). Box of Secrets is the debut album by English rock band Blood Red Shoes, which was released on 14 April 2008 on the Mercury Records label. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through an Orange Rockerverb 50 MkIII, the rig we use for Blood Red Shoes' other songs from Box of Secrets, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
Common Questions About the "This Is Not For You" Tone

The guitar on "This Is Not For You" (released 2008) isn't documented; the Gibson SG Standard above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).

Settings for this sound: Gain 5, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 6, Presence 5, 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.
Can I play "This Is Not For You" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "This Is Not For You" 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.
