From FIDLAR (2013). Fidlar is the debut studio album by California skate punk band Fidlar, released on January 22, 2013 by Mom + Pop Music. 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 FIDLAR, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "White on White" Tone
What guitar did FIDLAR use on "White on White"?
The guitar on "White on White" (released 2013) isn't documented; the Fender Player Telecaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

Settings for this sound: Gain 7, Bass 5, Mid 5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 8. 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 "White on White" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "White on White" 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.
