From King of the Beach (2010). King of the Beach is the third studio album by the American band Wavves, released on 1 July 2010. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Fender Hot Rod DeVille 212 IV, the rig we use for Wavves' other songs from King of the Beach, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
Common Questions About the "Green Eyes" Tone
What guitar did Wavves use on "Green Eyes"?
The guitar on "Green Eyes" (released 2010) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).
What amp settings does "Green Eyes" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 6.5, Bass 5, Mid 5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 8. 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 "Green 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 "Green 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.
