No Room in Frame amp settings — Edifier 1
The Death Cab For Cutie guitar tone for “No Room in Frame”, dialed in for a Edifier 1 with a Squier Bullet Stratocaster. Studio version, Kintsugi (2015) — produced by Rich Costey at Eldorado Recording Studios
Fender Jazzmaster or Jaguar through a clean Fender Twin Reverb or similar blackface-style amp, light chorus/modulation, recorded with compression and studio polish. Chris Walla's final album with the band featured shimmering clean tones with subtle modulation.
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 2 |
| Bass | 5 |
| Treble | 6 |
| Master | 5 |
01Zoom G1X Four — Chorus Block
Use the 'Chorus' or 'Ana Chorus' model — subtle warble, not extreme
02Zoom G1X Four — Compressor Block
Light compression to even out dynamics and add sustain like studio processing
03Zoom G1X Four — Delay Block
Short slapback delay for depth — use 'Delay' or 'A Delay' model, subtle mix
The Edifier 1 is an unrecognized amp model — settings assume basic gain/bass/treble controls only. The original uses pristine Fender cleans; keep gain minimal on your amp and rely on the Zoom G1X Four for the watery chorus character. Your Squier Strat's single coils will naturally deliver the bright, glassy quality needed. Roll tone to 7 to tame any harshness from the bridge pickup blend.
