From Peace (2018). Peace is the fifth studio album by Swedish hard rock band Graveyard. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall 1962 Bluesbreaker Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Graveyard's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in D standard (D G C F A D), a whole step below standard.
Common Questions About the "Please Don't" Tone
What guitar did Graveyard use on "Please Don't"?
The guitar on "Please Don't" (released 2018) isn't documented; the Gibson SG Standard above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in D Standard (D G C F A D), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Please Don't" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 5, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 5, 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 "Please Don't" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Please Don't" 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.
