From Projector (2021). Projector is the second studio album and major label debut by American indie rock band Geese. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Fender Deluxe Reverb, the rig we use for Geese's other songs from Projector, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
Common Questions About the "First World Warrior" Tone
What guitar did Geese use on "First World Warrior"?
The guitar on "First World Warrior" (released 2021) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).

Settings for this sound: Gain 4.5, Bass 5, Mid 5, Treble 6, Presence 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 "First World Warrior" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "First World Warrior" 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.
