From Chip Chrome & the Mono-Tones (2020). A slow, hazy track with shimmering, reverb-heavy guitar. MusicRadar's interview with Zach Abels says his main guitar is a Fender Jazzmaster, and Equipboard lists a Morgan AC20 Deluxe and a Fender Hot Rod DeVille among his amps, but the sources don't separate one record from another. So a Fender Vintera '60s Jazzmaster into a Morgan AC20 Deluxe stands in. Keep the amp clean, just on the edge of breakup, and play the neck and bridge pickups together. Tuning isn't documented here.
Common Questions About the "Cherry Flavoured" Tone
What guitar did The Neighbourhood use on "Cherry Flavoured"?
The guitar on "Cherry Flavoured" (released 2020) isn't documented; the Fender Vintera '60s Jazzmaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck + bridge (position 3 / out-of-phase) on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Cherry Flavoured" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 2.5, Bass 5, Mid 4, Treble 6.5, Presence 5.5, Volume 3.5. 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 "Cherry Flavoured" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Cherry Flavoured" 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.
What effects are on "Cherry Flavoured"?
The recording has reverb on it. No source names the unit behind it, so this page doesn't guess one. ToneMirror maps each effect onto your rig - a pedal you own, your amp's own controls, or a block on a modeler - and says plainly when your rig can't make one.
