Why these settings

The Hertz DG 20 is a basic solid-state practice amp lacking built-in presence and reverb controls, so they are set to null. To simulate the air and quack of a mic'd Taylor acoustic on an electric Strat, use the neck+middle 'in-between' pickup position with gain dialed down to 2 for maximum clean headroom. Scooping the amp's mids to 4 and boosting treble to 7 replicates the natural acoustic top-end sheen from your single coils.

PRO TIPStrum with a thin, flexible nylon pick (.60mm or lower) close to the bridge saddles to add artificial acoustic snap and percussive high-end sparkle.
