Honey are you coming amp settings — Fender Blues Junior IV
The Måneskin guitar tone for “Honey are you coming”, dialed in for a Fender Blues Junior IV with a Fender Player Stratocaster. Studio version, RUSH! album (2023)
Thomas Raggi typically uses a Gibson/Epiphone with humbuckers through Marshall-style amps with moderate gain — this track features tight, punchy crunch rather than high-gain saturation
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 7 |
| Bass | 4 |
| Mid | 7 |
| Treble | 5 |
| Reverb | 0 |
| Master | 4 |

RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. A Boss SD-1 or Ibanez TS9 clone (~$50) will add the midrange punch and tightness your Strat/Blues Jr combo lacks vs Raggi's humbucker-into-Marshall setup. Without this, the tone will be looser and less aggressive.
Your Strat's single-coil bridge is brighter and lower-output than Raggi's humbuckers, so I pushed mids to 7 (vs ~5 on a Marshall) to compensate for the Blues Jr's scooped voicing. Gain at 7 pushes the preamp into breakup territory since the Blues Jr stays clean until around 6. Treble dropped to 5 because Fender amps have a high treble shelf that gets ice-picky with single coils. The tone will be thinner and less compressed without an OD pedal stacking into the front.
