Stiches amp settings — Fender Champion 20
The Nervepitch guitar tone for “Stiches”, dialed in for a Fender Champion 20 with a Gibson Les Paul Modern. Studio version, How We Change EP (2001) / ...my sombre existence... (2003)
Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier / Marshall high-gain half stack + humbucker-equipped drop-tuned guitar
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 8 |
| Bass | 8 |
| Treble | 6 |
| Reverb | 0 |
| Master | 4 |
The Champion 20 lacks a dedicated mid knob and presence control, but setting the Voice selector to 'Metal 2000' emulates the cascaded high-gain Mesa Rectifier tone used on the recording. Bass is boosted to 8 to give the 8-inch practice speaker low-end authority for drop tunings. The DS-1 is bypassed to avoid double-gain fizz, letting the onboard digital high-gain model generate the saturated rhythm crunch directly.
