Amy recorded most of the forthcoming album with her P90-equipped Fender Mustang into a Fender Hot Rod amp. She’s notoriously tight-lipped about her pedalboard, but our bat-like ears detect an octave pedal set to an octave down and with the mix at roughly 30 per cent. A high gain fuzz style distortion should get you a ballpark tone. Remember, P90s are single coil pickups with typically sparkling top end. They tend to have a bit more bass than many single coils though, so bear that in mind when setting your amp’s EQ.
