Dead flowers amp settings — Multiefectos M-wawe black box

The Rolling stones guitar tone for “Dead flowers”, dialed in for a Multiefectos M-wawe black box with a Fender Player Stratocaster. Studio version, Sticky Fingers (1971), Olympic Studios London

Original rig

Keith Richards: Fender Telecaster or Gibson ES-335 into Fender Twin Reverb (clean); Mick Taylor: Gibson Les Paul into Fender Twin Reverb (clean). No pedals on this track—pure amp tone with studio compression.

Sparkling clean country-rock twang with warm low-mids, slight amp compression, and articulate pick attack for honky-tonk licks

RECOMMENDED — use your multi-FX compressor block to emulate the studio compression on the recording. Adds sustain for Taylor's bending solo lines without squashing dynamics.

Why these settings

Your Strat's single coils are brighter than Richards' Telecaster or Taylor's Les Paul, so I rolled tone_knob to 7 and kept treble moderate at 7 to avoid ice-pick highs. Mid pushed to 6 compensates for the Strat's natural mid-scoop and matches the warm honky-tonk character. The position 4 (bridge+middle) gives the twangy snap with enough body for the country-rock vibe.

PRO TIPFor Taylor's solo, use hybrid picking—hold the pick normally but pluck the higher strings with your middle and ring fingers. This gives the fluid, vocal-like articulation on those 7th-fret D-shape bends that define the solo's country phrasing.
