From Hold the Girl (2022). Hold the Girl is the second studio album by Japanese and British singer Rina Sawayama. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Stratocaster HSS through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the nearest rig we use for Rina Sawayama's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
Common Questions About the "This Hell" Tone
What guitar did Rina Sawayama use on "This Hell"?
The guitar on "This Hell" (released 2022) isn't documented; the Fender Player Stratocaster HSS above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).
What amp settings does "This Hell" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 7, Bass 6, Mid 5, Treble 6, Presence 6, Volume 8. 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 "This Hell" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "This Hell" 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.
