From Radios Appear (1977). Radios Appear is the first full-length studio album by Australian punk rock band Radio Birdman. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Radio Birdman's other songs from Radios Appear, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
Common Questions About the "Non-Stop Girls" Tone

Settings for this sound: Gain 7, Bass 5.5, Mid 6.5, 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 "Non-Stop Girls" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Non-Stop Girls" 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.
