The Palco 104 is an unrecognized solid-state practice amp with generic controls, so presence is nulled and settings rely on core universal parameters. Keep amp gain very low at 2 to preserve clean headroom and prevent fizzy solid-state breakup, while pushing treble and reverb to replicate the chimey, ambient Fender clean tone. The Kadence Slowhand Strat-style single-coils match the original guitar vibe closely, but slightly rolling the tone knob preserves warmth without sounding brittle.
