Get this tone on your gear
Choose your guitar and amp to get exact knob settings.
The recording
The arrangement centers on piano, orchestral strings and subtle synth pads. A rhythm‑guitar part was captured during the session (evidenced by the multitrack’s “RhyGt” channel) but it is mixed out and not perceptible in the commercial release.
The original rig isn’t documented
No credible record of the exact session gear exists, so ToneTwin won’t invent one. Match the recorded sound to your own rig instead.

Frequently asked questions
What gear was used for the You Are Not Alone guitar tone?
The available recording research, reported gear and evidence links are listed in the signal chain on this page.
Are the original You Are Not Alone amp settings documented?
Exact historical knob positions are not reliably documented for most recordings. ToneTwin does not publish generated values as studio fact; it creates playable settings only for the amp and pedals a player selects.
How do I recreate the You Are Not Alone tone on my own gear?
Use the reported pickup, gain character, effects and signal-chain order as the target, then translate that target to your equipment. The matcher models controls for your selected rig rather than copying undocumented studio numbers.
