Milk It (Demo) amp settings — Maxstar 08202022557

The Nirvana guitar tone for “Milk It (Demo)”, dialed in for a Maxstar 08202022557 with a Ibanez GIO GRX70QA. Milk It (Demo), recorded January 19-21, 1993 at BMG Ariola Studios, Rio de Janeiro (With the Lights Out)

The Maxstar is an unverified practice-style solid-state amp with non-standardized circuitry, so only basic universal controls are dialed with unverifiable knobs nulled. Per double-gain prevention, the owned high-gain distortion pedal serves as the primary grit source into a low-gain clean channel. The Ibanez Infinity R bridge humbucker pushes ample output, so keep the pedal tone bright to capture Kurt's piercing demo bite. Verse switch: roll guitar volume back to 4 or click off the distortion pedal for the skeletal picking sections.
