From Just Bring It (2017). Just Bring It is the fourth studio album and first full-length album by Japanese band Band-Maid, released on January 11, 2017 in Japan via Crown Stones and February 10, 2017 internationally by JPU Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS Custom 24 through a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier, the rig we use for BAND-MAID's other songs from Just Bring It, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop D.
Common Questions About the "Don't You Tell Me" Tone
What guitar did BAND-MAID use on "Don't You Tell Me"?
The guitar on "Don't You Tell Me" (released 2017) isn't documented; the PRS Custom 24 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop D (D A D G B E), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Don't You Tell Me" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 7.5, Bass 5.5, Mid 6.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6.5, 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 "Don't You Tell Me" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Don't You Tell Me" 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.
