Where the Wild Things Are amp settings — Fender Blues Junior IV
The Luke Combs guitar tone for “Where the Wild Things Are”, dialed in for a Fender Blues Junior IV with a PRS SE Hollowbody II. Studio version, Gettin' Old (2023)
Likely Fender-style amp (Deluxe Reverb or similar) with Telecaster or similar bright single-coil guitar — Luke Combs' band typically uses classic country-rock setups with clean Fender platforms
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 3 |
| Bass | 5 |
| Mid | 6 |
| Treble | 6 |
| Reverb | 3 |
| Master | 4 |
Blues Junior lacks a presence knob, so treble at 6 handles the sparkle. Your PRS SE Hollowbody II has humbuckers where the original likely used single coils — rolling tone to 7 tames the warmth and lets the bridge pickup cut through with country-appropriate bite. Mid pushed to 6 compensates for the Fender's natural mid-scoop and keeps the tone from getting lost in a band mix.
