The Clean Bright voice with ISF dialed toward the American side compensates for the Fender chime of the original track. Because the Gibson Les Paul Modern has thicker humbuckers than Dominic's Stratocaster, the neck+bridge (or split/middle) setting with volume rolled slightly back to 8 cleans up the output and adds high-end clarity. The ID:Core 20 V3 lacks dedicated mid and presence knobs on its faceplate, so tonal sculpting relies on the ISF and treble control.
