3 songs, each with a starting point and the rig from its sources
Tonelify's library has 3 Guns N' Roses songs, each with the rig reported in interviews and articles and a reference starting point on a generic five-knob amp. There is no single Guns N' Roses setting. Welcome To The Jungle starts at Gain 6 and November Rain at Gain 6.5, so set the amp for the song, not for the artist.
The numbers below are the same ones each song page gives. The rig for each song is on its own page with the sources it comes from.
Singing neck-pickup lead with silky sustain.
Start at Gain 6.5, Bass 5, Middle 7, Treble 6, Presence 6, Reverb 2, with the neck pickup for body, bridge if the lead needs to cut.
Bright crunchy Marshall bite with delay stabs.
Start at Gain 6, Bass 5, Middle 6, Treble 6, Presence 6, Reverb 2, with the bridge pickup.
Bell-like intro licks with hot-rodded gain.
Start at Gain 6, Bass 5, Middle 6, Treble 6, Presence 6, Reverb 2, with the bridge pickup.
These are positions on a generic five-knob amp with gain, bass, middle, treble and presence, each running 0 to 10. They are a starting point, not the settings used on the record, and they will not transfer unchanged to an amp with a different gain structure or EQ voicing.

Yes. What carries these sounds is the gain structure, the EQ curve, the pickup position and the order of the effects, and all four can be rebuilt on other equipment. Tonelify rewrites each starting point for the amp and guitar you own.
