Why these settings

The IBZ10G is a basic solid-state practice amp with no reverb, presence, or effects — set gain minimal for clean headroom. The original uses Fender-style sparkle; the IBZ10G is darker and mid-focused, so treble is pushed to 7 and mid stays at 6 to approximate that shimmer. The dreamy reverb and chorus on the recording are unreachable without pedals — RECOMMEND a basic chorus pedal (Boss CE-5 or TC Corona Mini) and a reverb pedal (TC Hall of Fame Mini or Boss RV-6) to get close.

PRO TIPRoll your tone knob to 7 and use the neck pickup for that pillowy Jaguar-style warmth. Pick closer to the neck with a light touch to replicate the soft, floating attack Mitski uses — no hard picking on this track.
