Come as youre amp settings — Line 6 Helix Floor
The Nirvana guitar tone for “Come as youre”, dialed in for a Line 6 Helix Floor with a Fender Player Stratocaster. Studio version, Nevermind (1991) — iconic watery clean intro riff
Fender Jaguar / Stratocaster into Electro-Harmonix Small Clone chorus into a clean Fender Twin Reverb / Mesa Studio .22 preamp recorded by Butch Vig
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 3 |
| Bass | 6 |
| Mid | 5 |
| Treble | 5 |
| Presence | 3 |
| Reverb | 2 |
| Master | 8 |
01Chorus (Helix 'Chorus' block, modeled after EHX Small Clone)
Placed in front of the amp block to mimic Cobain's Small Clone into the front input
02Spring Reverb (Helix ''63 Spring' block)
Subtle amp-style spring reverb placed post-cab
The Player Strat's single-coil neck pickup naturally nails the rounded low-end thud of the riff, so keep Treble neutral at 5 and Tone at 8 to prevent glassy bite. Helix's US Double Nrm block is set clean at Gain 3 with Bright off, giving the chorus block room to modulate without harsh clipping. Distorted chorus section: engage a dynamic distortion block like the Helix 'Industrial Fuzz' or 'Deranged Master' (Boss DS-1 style) in front of the chorus.
