Why these settings

The JustPro DA102 is a compact practice amp featuring basic gain, bass, and treble controls with no dedicated mid, presence, or built-in reverb knobs. To capture the warm, rounded chime of the Selmer and Vox cleans on your SQOE SEST600 Strat, select the neck pickup, keep amp gain low at 3 to prevent unwanted distortion, and roll treble to 5 to avoid harshness. Adding an external spring reverb pedal or subtle overdrive later will complete the moody room ambiance.

PRO TIPUse gentle thumb-and-finger picking rather than a stiff plectrum to give the two opening chords the soft, dark organ-like attack heard on the record.
