Why these settings

The Muzikly GA-30 is a standard solid-state practice amp, so running the Clean channel with gain at edge-of-breakup provides the necessary headroom without harsh clipping. Because your Telecaster single-coils are naturally brighter than the studio humbuckers and vintage Magnatone voicing, treble is reduced to 4 and guitar tone is rolled back to 7 to retain warmth. Adding an external tape-style delay and ambient reverb pedal will fully capture the lush spatial wash of the album cut.

PRO TIPUse the fleshy pad of your thumb and fingers instead of a stiff pick to pluck the chord arpeggios, which softens the initial transient attack and brings out the warm, piano-like low-mid sustain heard on the track.
