Hi,
can anyone tell me the amp settings for Californication and Dani California from the Red Hot Chili Peppers?
Thank you.

John always has his amps set the same, he uses different pedals for each song to get distinct sounds.

Here are his amp settings:
Gain-4
Treble-8
Mid-2
Bass-6
Reverb- 7
Just a dash of chorus

remember its not all just amp settings. use the right pickup and use the tone knobs.

i HATE trying to adjust my amp. I can never get the sound that I am looking for, mostly because i dont know how each one effects the sound. I would much rather just use pedals.

Dani California you'll just have to do what you think sounds good. He uses a LOT of effects for the album version.

Here's some of his equipment:
