From Quebec (2003). Quebec is the eighth studio album by the American rock band Ween, released on August 5, 2003, on Sanctuary Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Ween's other songs from Quebec, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the middle pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.
Common Questions About the "Chocolate Town" Tone
What guitar did Ween use on "Chocolate Town"?
The guitar on "Chocolate Town" (released 2003) isn't documented; the Fender Player Stratocaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: middle pickup on the guitar. The track is in E♭ Standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Chocolate Town" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 3.5, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 6, 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 "Chocolate Town" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Chocolate Town" 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.
