From Too (2015). Too is the second studio album by American skate punk band Fidlar, released September 4, 2015. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Telecaster through a Fender Champion 40, the rig we use for FIDLAR's other songs from Too, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Bad Habits" Tone
What guitar did FIDLAR use on "Bad Habits"?
The guitar on "Bad Habits" (released 2015) isn't documented; the Fender Player Telecaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

Settings for this sound: Gain 6, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 5.5, 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 "Bad Habits" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Bad Habits" 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.
