Beggin' amp settings — Fender Blues Junior IV
The Måneskin guitar tone for “Beggin'”, dialed in for a Fender Blues Junior IV with a Fender Player Precision Bass. Studio version, Chosen EP (2017)
Fender Precision Bass / Danelectro Longhorn direct into Manley VoxBox tube preamp DI, Empirical Labs Distressor, UAD 1176LN Rev E
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 4 |
| Bass | 6 |
| Mid | 7 |
| Treble | 5 |
| Reverb | 0 |
| Master | 4 |
The studio recording utilized a warm, direct tube DI via a Manley VoxBox rather than a miked bass cab. On a Fender Blues Junior IV (a guitar tube amp with 1x12 speaker and no presence control), push mids to 7 to replicate that focused studio punch while keeping bass at 6 to prevent the open-back guitar cabinet from flubbing out. Leave the 'FAT' boost off and gain moderate to get clean tube warmth without fuzzy preamp distortion.
