Jealous amp settings — Positive Grid Spark 40
The Eyesress guitar tone for “Jealous”, dialed in for a Positive Grid Spark 40 with a Squier Bullet Stratocaster. Studio version, Let's Skip To The Wedding (2020) — recorded in bedroom in Silver Lake with Teisco guitar
Japanese Teisco guitar (single coils) → likely Fender-style clean amp (Deluxe Reverb or similar) with reverb and delay pedals
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 2 |
| Bass | 4 |
| Mid | 5 |
| Treble | 6 |
| Presence | 5 |
| Reverb | 6 |
| Master | 7 |
01Digital Delay (Spark built-in)
Set delay time around 350-400ms to match the rhythmic pulse of the riff — use the Spark app's delay block
02Chorus (Spark built-in)
Subtle chorus adds the lo-fi shimmer and width — keep it understated, not obvious
Your Squier Bullet Strat with single coils is actually closer to the Teisco's bright, thin character than a humbucker guitar would be — this is a good match. The Spark's American Clean model replicates the Fender clean platform Eyedress likely used. Position 4 (neck+middle) gives you that quacky, hollow jangle without being too bright. Roll tone to 7 to tame any harshness from the Bullet's ceramic pickups.
