Why these settings

The Tank-G clean preamp block provides the pristine Fender-style platform, kept low on gain to prevent any clipping. We roll treble back to 4 on the unit and tone to 7 on your Stratocaster to mimic the soft tape-style top end of the studio DI cut. The onboard compressor, chorus, and slapback delay blocks recreate Rostam's production chain without needing external pedals.

PRO TIPPick gently with the meat of your thumb or a soft flexible pick near the neck pickup to reduce percussive attack and capture that pillowy, intimate indie tone.
