From Surviving (2019). Surviving is the tenth studio album by American rock band Jimmy Eat World, released on October 18, 2019 by RCA Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Jim Adkins JA-90 Telecaster Thinline through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Jimmy Eat World's other songs from Surviving, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Delivery" Tone
What guitar did Jimmy Eat World use on "Delivery"?
The guitar on "Delivery" (released 2019) isn't documented; the Fender Jim Adkins JA-90 Telecaster Thinline above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Delivery" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 7, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, 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 "Delivery" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Delivery" 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.
