The Sam Fender guitar tone for “Seventeen Going Under”, dialed in for a Line 6 Pod Hd500x with a Fender Player Stratocaster. Studio version, Seventeen Going Under album (2021)
Fender Jazzmaster (1959 reissue or similar) → Keeley Red Dirt → Vox AC30 Top Boost channel → Boss DD-8 → Strymon Flint
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 6 |
| Bass | 4 |
| Mid | 6 |
| Treble | 7 |
| Presence | 5 |
| Reverb | 2 |
| Master | 5 |
01Screamer model (TS808 or Tube Screamer block)
Substitutes for Keeley Red Dirt — use as a mid-push boost into the AC30 model, not as primary gain source
02Digital Delay model (or DD-3/Mod type)
Subtle slapback to dotted-eighth feel — set time around 350-400ms
Your Strat's single coils are brighter and lower-output than Fender's Jazzmaster, so treble is pulled back 1 point from the original AC30 settings (8→7) and mid pushed +1 to compensate for the Strat's natural mid-scoop. The Screamer block replaces the Red Dirt's mid-hump character. Position 4 (bridge+middle) gets closer to the Jazzmaster's rhythm pickup voicing than pure bridge.
