The original recording features a classic mid-60s Fender clean combo recorded in NYC studios. On the Marshall Code 25, use the 'CL American' preamp block to replicate that Fender clean platform rather than Marshall voicing, paired with the onboard spring reverb model. The Pacifica's neck+middle single-coil position yields the exact scooped, chimey rhythm attack heard under Frankie Valli's vocal.
