Why these settings

Original uses ADA MP-1 clean channel which is warm and slightly compressed. Your GE150's Fender Deluxe model gets closest to that studio-clean shimmer. Rolled tone knob to 7 compensates for your JB-style humbucker being brighter than Carpenter's neck-position JB. Gain at 3 keeps it clean but not sterile — the ADA clean has subtle warmth.

PRO TIPCarpenter's clean tone breathes because he picks lightly over the neck pickup and lets the chorus do the work — dig in too hard and you lose the dreamy quality. Try palm-muting the open low string slightly during the verse riff for that controlled thump.
