From Last Night in the Bittersweet (2022). Last Night in the Bittersweet is the fourth studio album by Scottish singer-songwriter Paolo Nutini, released on 1 July 2022 by Atlantic Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Paolo Nutini's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Acid Eyes" Tone
What guitar did Paolo Nutini use on "Acid Eyes"?
The guitar on "Acid Eyes" (released 2022) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Telecaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Acid Eyes" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 3, Bass 5, Mid 5.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 4.5, 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 "Acid Eyes" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Acid Eyes" 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.
