From Non homologué (1985). Non homologué is an album by the French singer Jean-Jacques Goldman, released in September 1985 by CBS. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Jean-Jacques Goldman's other songs from Non homologué, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Pas toi" Tone
What guitar did Jean-Jacques Goldman use on "Pas toi"?
The guitar on "Pas toi" (released 1985) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Stratocaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

Settings for this sound: Gain 2.5, Bass 5, Mid 5, Treble 6.5, Presence 5, Volume 5.5. 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 "Pas toi" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Pas toi" 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.
