Why these settings

To satisfy the single dirt source rule with your Maxon OD808 engaged, the JCM900 gain is dialed down low so the overdrive drives the saturation. The PRS Custom 24 humbuckers provide extra thickness and sustain compared to Andra's Strat tone, so keeping the amp mid-forward with slightly reduced treble prevents high-end harshness.

PRO TIPPick firmly near the bridge pickup during the wide bending phrases, and let notes bloom with wide, even finger vibrato to capture Andra Ramadhan's vocal-like phrasing.
