Why these settings

The Mooer Prime M1's US Twin clean model provides the glassy, scooped Fender foundation used on the orchestral session. Because the Yamaha ERG121 has hotter ceramic pickups, select the neck+middle split position and roll the guitar tone back to 7 to soften high-end bite and achieve the warm, dark moodiness of the James Bond soundtrack. Keep amp gain low at 3 to prevent unwanted clipping against Adele's vocal dynamics.

PRO TIPPick close to the middle pickup with a medium-thin pick or soft thumb-and-finger plucks to get the rounded, cinematic 1960s espionage attack without sharp transients.
