The Nancy sinatra guitar tone for “Thesse boots are made for walking”, dialed in for a Multiefectos M-wawe black box with a Fender Player Stratocaster. Studio version, Boots album (1966), recorded November 19, 1965 at United Western Recorders, Hollywood

Original rig

Multiple Wrecking Crew guitarists (Billy Strange, Jerry Cole, Glen Campbell, others) using Fender amps (likely Deluxe Reverb, Twin Reverb, or similar), clean to edge-of-breakup tones with single-coil guitars

Chunky, percussive clean rhythm with slight grit on attack, warm low-mids, no effects—the 'dumb sound' aesthetic

Why these settings

Your Strat with single coils is ideal for this tone—matches the original session guitars. The middle pickup gives that hollow, quacky character heard on the record. Gain at 3 provides just enough edge on hard strums without actual distortion. Tone knob rolled to 7 tames the Strat's natural brightness to match the warmer 1965 recording.

PRO TIPAttack is everything here—dig in hard with your pick on the downbeats and let the strings ring into each other slightly. The 'dumb sound' came from multiple guitarists playing the same part loosely together, so embrace a relaxed, slightly behind-the-beat feel rather than tight precision.
