From ¡¡Que corra la voz!! (2002). ¡¡Que corra la voz!! is the fifth studio album by the Spanish ska punk band Ska-P, released on 29 June 2002. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Standard Telecaster through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the rig we use for Ska-P's other songs from ¡¡Que corra la voz!!, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Settings for this sound: Gain 5.5, Bass 4, Mid 6.5, Treble 7.5, Presence 6, Volume 6. 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 "Welcome to 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 "Welcome to 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.
