The Malcolm Todd guitar tone for “Earrings”, dialed in for a Fender Frontman 10g with a Sqoe SEST250 HSS Electric Guitar | Stratocaster Style. Studio version, Sweet Boy mixtape (2024)
Fender Stratocaster (single-coil) → Fuzz pedal → Chorus pedal → Vox AC15C1 with spring reverb
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 7 |
| Bass | 6 |
| Treble | 4 |
| Master | 4 |
02Analog Chorus (CE-2 style)
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned
The Frontman 10G lacks an onboard chorus, mid control, and reverb, so push the built-in Overdrive button with Gain at 7 to simulate the fuzzy lo-fi breakup straight from the amp. Rolling the guitar tone back to 7 softens the Frontman's sharp 6-inch speaker top-end to mimic the warm, rounded bedroom fuzz of the original. Adding a basic chorus and fuzz pedal later will complete the authentic wobbly indie-pop texture.
