Baby Came Home 2 / Valentines amp settings — Yamaha THR10II

The The Neighbourhood guitar tone for “Baby Came Home 2 / Valentines”, dialed in for a Yamaha THR10II with a Yamaha Pacifica 112V. Studio version, Wiped Out! (2015)

Original rig

1978 Fender Jazzmaster or Fender Custom Shop Jazzmaster (Zach Abels signature), likely through a clean Fender-style amp with Eventide Space Reverb, Boss DD-20 Giga Delay, and Boss CS-3 Compression Sustainer

Moody, atmospheric clean with heavy reverb wash, subtle compression, and dreamy delay — glassy highs with controlled low-end

Why these settings

The original Jazzmaster has warmer, darker single coils than your Pacifica's brighter Alnico V pickups. Compensate by rolling tone knob to 6 and keeping treble moderate at 6 instead of higher. The THR10II's Hall Reverb or Echo/Reverb mode substitutes for the Eventide Space — push the effect level higher than normal (7) to get that washy, ambient character. Gain stays very low; this is a clean-platform tone where the atmosphere comes from effects, not overdrive.

PRO TIPUse the THR Remote app to stack the compressor before the Echo/Reverb effect — this mimics Abels' pedalboard order and keeps your pick attack smooth while the reverb tail blooms. Pick closer to the neck for that soft, glassy Jazzmaster attack.
