From Rush! (2023). Rush! is the third studio album by Italian rock band Måneskin, released on 20 January 2023 through Epic Records and Sony Music. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Måneskin's other songs from Rush!, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "If Not for You" Tone
What guitar did Måneskin use on "If Not for You"?
The guitar on "If Not for You" (released 2023) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "If Not for You" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 6.5, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, 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 "If 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 "If 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.
