Where Is My Mind? (2007 Remaster) amp settings — Marshall Code 50
The Pixies guitar tone for “Where Is My Mind? (2007 Remaster)”, dialed in for a Marshall Code 50 with a Yamaha Pacifica 112V. Studio version, Surfer Rosa (1988) — 2007 remaster. Matching the iconic clean arpeggiated riff, not the louder chorus sections.
Marshall JCM800 50W (chorus/loud sections) and Fender Vibrolux Reverb (clean intro/verse), Gibson Les Paul Standard or Custom with humbuckers, MXR Dyna Comp for sustain bloom on arpeggios
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 3 |
| Bass | 5 |
| Mid | 5 |
| Treble | 6 |
| Presence | 4 |
| Reverb | 5 |
| Master | 5 |
The original clean tone came from a Fender Vibrolux Reverb — select the American Clean or Deluxe Reverb model on your Code 50 to match that Fender scoop and reverb character. Your Pacifica's Alnico V single coils are brighter than Santiago's Les Paul humbuckers, so I dropped treble by 1 and presence by 1 to compensate for the extra high-end. Gain stays low (3) because this is a clean platform tone — the Vibrolux was set for definition, not breakup.
