Where Is My Mind?

Joey Santiago’s core early-Pixies setup paired a 50-watt Marshall JCM800 on its high-gain channel with a mid-1960s Fender Vibrolux for cleans. Song-specific documentation attributes the distorted hook primarily to the JCM800 and finds no firm evidence of a pedal creating the drive. The exact session guitar and knob positions are not logged, so settings are approximated from Santiago’s documented rig. Source: Vintage Guitar’s Joey Santiago interview, Guitar World, and TonesMatch.
