From Pink (2005). Pink is the ninth studio album by Japanese experimental music band Boris, released on 18 November 2005. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s through an Orange Rockerverb 50 MkIII, the rig we use for Boris' other songs from Pink, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.
Common Questions About the "Woman on the Screen" Tone

The guitar on "Woman on the Screen" (released 2005) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck pickup on the guitar.

Settings for this sound: Gain 4.5, Bass 5.5, Mid 5, Treble 6, Presence 5.5, Volume 5. 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 "Woman on the Screen" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Woman on the Screen" 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.
