Why these settings

The HT20R MkII is set to the Clean channel to serve as a pedal platform, with the ISF knob set around 9 o'clock (American/Chime side) to emulate a Vox/Matchless top-end. Because your Epiphone Les Paul Studio humbuckers are warmer and hotter than the Telecasters often used by Bethel guitarists, treble is pushed on both the amp and the Tumnus while gain on the pedals is dialed back slightly to prevent mud. Delay and reverb carry the iconic rhythmic pulse and spatial bed.

PRO TIPLock in your tap tempo precisely to dotted-eighths on the ARP-87; pick with firm alternate downstrokes near the bridge to keep the arpeggiated lead cutting through the mix without blurring into the reverb.
