Why these settings

The Frontman 10G features only Gain, Bass, and Treble controls (no mid, presence, or built-in reverb). To capture the warm, hi-fi studio clean on this small practice speaker, leave the Gain low on the clean channel, set Bass to 6 for low-end body without flub, and keep Treble moderate at 5 to prevent harshness. Selecting the Strat's neck+middle position naturally provides the scooped, glassy R&B character heard on the record.

PRO TIPPick with fingers or the flesh of your thumb instead of a hard plectrum on the slow 6/8 arpeggios to mimic the soft, rounded transient attack of the album cut.
