From Be the Cowboy (2018). Be the Cowboy is the fifth studio album by American musician and singer-songwriter Mitski, released on 17 August 2018 by Dead Oceans. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Mitski's other songs from Be the Cowboy, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Pink in the Night" Tone
What guitar did Mitski use on "Pink in the Night"?
The guitar on "Pink in the Night" (released 2018) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Pink in the Night" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 4.5, Bass 5, Mid 5.5, Treble 6, Presence 5, Volume 5.5. 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 "Pink in the Night" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Pink in the Night" 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.
