I Don't Smoke amp settings — Harley benton AmP10

The Mitski guitar tone for “I Don't Smoke”, dialed in for a Harley benton AmP10 with a Harley benton R-446. Studio version, Bury Me At Makeout Creek (2014)

Original rig

Likely small practice amp or Fender-style combo pushed into distortion, possibly with fuzz pedal (Big Muff or similar); Mitski recorded this album DIY-style with minimal gear

Heavily distorted, fuzzy, compressed garage-rock with scooped mids and raw lo-fi character

Why these settings

The Klone becomes the fuzz substitute here—gain at 8 with treble rolled back mimics the compressed, scooped-mid distortion of the original. AmP10 stays clean (gain 2) to let the pedal do all the work. Bass at 7 adds the low-end thump typical of garage/lo-fi recordings; mid at 3 scoops for that fuzzy, undefined character.

PRO TIPRoll your guitar's tone knob to 7 instead of wide open—this softens the high-end bite and adds the woolly, blanket-over-the-amp quality that defines lo-fi distortion without losing clarity on the R-446's humbuckers.
