From Hit Me Hard and Soft (2024). Hit Me Hard and Soft is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish, released on May 17, 2024, through Darkroom and Interscope Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Vintage II 1972 Telecaster Thinline through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Billie Eilish's other songs from Hit Me Hard and Soft, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
Common Questions About the "Wildflower" Tone
What guitar did Billie Eilish use on "Wildflower"?
The guitar on "Wildflower" (released 2024) isn't documented; the Fender American Vintage II 1972 Telecaster Thinline above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).
What amp settings does "Wildflower" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 6, Mid 5.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6.5, Volume 7. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.
Can I play "Wildflower" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Wildflower" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
