From Cry Baby (2021). A bright, groovy Japanese pop-rock track with a clean-to-crunchy guitar. The rig on this recording isn't documented, so a Gibson 1955 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue into a Hiwatt DR103 Custom 100 stands in. Keep the amp clean, just on the edge of breakup, and play the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.
Common Questions About the "Cry Baby" Tone
What guitar did Official HIGE DANdism use on "Cry Baby"?
The guitar on "Cry Baby" (released 2021) isn't documented; the Gibson 1955 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Cry Baby" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 3.5, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 7, Presence 6, 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 "Cry Baby" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Cry Baby" 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.
