Why these settings

The Roland JC-120 provides an ultra-clean, high-headroom platform that is naturally brighter than a tube combo, so the amp Bright switch is kept off and Treble is kept neutral at 5. Your Telecaster Thinline's semi-hollow body adds warmth and acoustic resonance, pairing smoothly with the middle/neck+bridge pickup position for a glassy pop rhythm sound. The GT-100 provides dynamic smoothing via compression and spacious delay/reverb without altering the JC-120's pristine stereo fidelity.

PRO TIPPick close to the middle of the body rather than near the bridge to maximize the percussive, bell-like chime typical of contemporary pop clean rhythm tracks.
