The title track of Wiped Out!, The Neighbourhood's second studio album, released on 30 October 2015 through Columbia. Production was mostly handled by 4e and Justyn Pilbrow, with a contribution from Benny Blanco, and the band wrote and recorded most of it in studios in Malibu and Santa Monica. Zach Abels is the guitarist. The sources available here don't name the guitars or amps, so the rig is a suggestion. Use a clean to lightly crunchy bridge-pickup tone with chorus and plate-style reverb for the moody, atmospheric guitar lines. No transcription could be checked, so no tuning is given.
Common Questions About the "Wiped Out!" Tone
What guitar did The Neighbourhood use on "Wiped Out!"?
The guitar on "Wiped Out!" (released 2015) isn't documented; the Fender Player II Jazzmaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Wiped Out!" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 3.5, Bass 5, Mid 5.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 5, Volume 6.5. 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 "Wiped Out!" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Wiped Out!" 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 "Wiped Out!"?
The recording has chorus and reverb on it. No source names the unit behind them, 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.
