holy holy amp settings — Fender Deluxe Reverb
The geordie greep guitar tone for “holy holy”, dialed in for a Fender Deluxe Reverb with a Gibson ES-335. Studio version, The New Sound (2024) — main riff & aggressive math-fusion rhythm
Fender Telecaster / Gretsch Electromatic into Fender Twin Reverb / Hot Rod Deluxe clean platform with ProCo Rat / overdrive for abrasive bite
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Bass | 4 |
| Treble | 6 |
| Reverb | 2 |
| Master | 4 |
01Ibanez Tube Screamer TS9
Used as a mid-focused pre-boost to tighten the ES-335 and push into the RAT
02ProCo RAT2
Primary gain source for the aggressive, gritty Greep bite
The Fender Deluxe Reverb provides the pristine, scooped clean platform similar to Greep's Twin Reverb setup, so the RAT2 handles the distortion while the TS9 acts as a tight mid-boost. Because the ES-335's humbuckers are warmer and darker than Greep's bright single-coil attack, bass is pulled down to 4 and treble is pushed to 6 on the amp, with the TS9 Tone set high to add upper-mid cut. Clean passages: bypass the RAT2 and keep the TS9 on low boost or play straight into the Deluxe Reverb.
