Creep amp settings — Fender Twin Reverb
The Stone Temple Pilots guitar tone for “Creep”, dialed in for a Fender Twin Reverb with a Fender Player Plus Stratocaster. Studio version, Core (1992)
Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s, Marshall JCM800 2203, neck pickup, no pedals
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 4 |
| Bass | 6 |
| Mid | 7 |
| Treble | 5 |
| Reverb | 2 |
| Master | 5 |
Original JCM800 is mid-forward with preamp grind; Twin Reverb is scooped, clean, and bright with a high treble shelf. Pushed mid +1, dropped treble -1.5 to counter the Twin's natural brightness and scoop. Your Strat single coils are brighter and lower output than the original Les Paul humbuckers, so bass +1 and tone knob rolled to 6 to warm up the attack. Gain stays low—this track barely breaks up and the Twin won't crunch anyway at reasonable volumes.
