Cannonball amp settings — Fender Deluxe Reverb
The Bleech 9:3 guitar tone for “Cannonball”, dialed in for a Fender Deluxe Reverb with a Gibson Les Paul Standard 60s. Studio version, Cannonball single (January 2026)
Unverified — sonic profile suggests humbucker guitar, mid-gain amp with edge-of-breakup tone, likely overdrive pedal for the 'screamy stabs'

Engage for the distorted 'stab' sections; bypass for the fragile, raspy clean verses
Your Deluxe Reverb is naturally scooped and clean, which suits the dynamic range this track needs. I pushed mids to 6 to add grunge bark since Fenders lack midrange bite. The OD pedal handles the 'screamy' distorted sections — the amp stays at edge-of-breakup so you can roll off guitar volume for the quieter passages.
