Tibok amp settings — TG-15 Guitar amplifier

The Earl agustin guitar tone for “Tibok”, dialed in for a TG-15 Guitar amplifier with a Fander Stratocaster. Studio version, Tibok single (June 16, 2023, Vicor Records)

Original rig

Unverified — tone analysis suggests clean amp (likely Fender-style or direct recording) with single coils, light compression, possible chorus; influences point to Silk Sonic-style funk guitar (Bruno Mars uses Fender Princeton/Twin with Strat)

Sparkly clean funk rhythm with tight low-end, glassy highs, subtle compression — neo-soul/70s disco vibe

Why these settings

The TG-15 is a practice-level solid-state amp with limited headroom — keep gain very low (2) to stay clean since funk guitar must not break up. Your Strat's single coils are perfect for this glassy tone; the neck+middle (position 4) gives the quacky, out-of-phase Nile Rodgers funk sound. Treble at 7 compensates for the TG-15's duller high-end versus a tube Fender.

PRO TIPMute with your right-hand palm between chord stabs to get that tight, percussive 16th-note funk rhythm — the silence between notes is as important as the notes themselves. Aim for the scratchy 'chucka-chucka' sound, not sustained chords.
