Pom Pom Squad: "There are varying degrees and styles of how somebody can play guitar. It’s not a one-size-fits-all" By Jacob Uitti published October 06, 2021

Jacob Uitti: "You play a Fender Vintera '60s Jaguar Modified, but you’ve taped over one of the switches. What’s the reason for that and do you have any other favorite go-to guitars?"

Mia Berrin: "I call it my 'Jagmaster' because it’s a little bit of a Jaguar-Jazzmaster combo. But yeah, the switch that’s covered over is just the kill switch. When I first started playing with it, it was just such a pain and it’s right by the area of your hand by your thumb. So, it was in the perfect spot to constantly ruin a song! Because I would just be strumming and hit it and it would just tear up my hands because it was sharp. So, that’s what’s covered. But all of the pickup switches are at the bottom, which is a lot easier to deal with."

Mia Berrin states,“I’d say the bread and butter of my 'board is an Ibanez Tube Screamer. It’s a Mini Tube Screamer. It just gives it a nice, subtle warmth. So, that’s where my tone stays, generally, throughout the set."

Berrin can also be seen using the Ibanez Mini Tube Screamer throughout a YouTube video of Mia Berrin performing at “Tiny Desk Meets SXSW: Pom Pom Squad" and is seen as early as 0:22 in the video.
