Why these settings

Your Mustang's single coils are perfect for this jangly indie tone - similar offset character to the Jazzmaster used on the recording. The Katana Clean channel provides the Fender-style headroom needed. Mid pushed to 6 compensates for the Katana's naturally scooped clean voicing versus a real Fender. Treble at 7 captures the bright, rhythmic attack without ice-pick harshness.

PRO TIPThe signature tone comes from the tight, percussive strumming technique - use the bony edge of your thumb near the bridge for that clicky, rhythmic attack heard throughout the track. Palm-mute lightly on the verse accents.
