Into You amp settings — Zoom G5n
The Ariana Grande guitar tone for “Into You”, dialed in for a Zoom G5n with a Squier Classic Vibe 50s Stratocaster. Studio version, Dangerous Woman (2016)
Studio DI guitar through Max Martin's production chain — clean signal with compression, chorus, and studio reverb/delay processing. No traditional amp distortion.

01Compressor (G5n: Comp — use 'M Comp' or 'Rack Comp' model)
Essential for the controlled, even dynamics of studio pop guitar
02Chorus (G5n: 'Chorus' or 'Ana Chorus' model)
Subtle shimmer — don't go deep, just add width
03Delay (G5n: 'Digital Delay' model)
Eighth-note delay, tempo-synced to 108 BPM if possible
04Reverb (G5n: 'Hall' or 'Room' model)
Adds studio space without washing out the attack
The original is a DI studio tone, not an amp-driven sound. Your G5n's Fender Twin model with low gain replicates the clean headroom. The Strat's single coils are ideal here—the original likely used similar bright, clean pickups. Rolling tone to 7 tames the Strat's ice-pick highs. Compression is critical; without it, the tone won't sit in the mix correctly.
