Why these settings

Your Luna humbuckers are hotter and warmer than Charlotte's P-90s, so treble is pushed to 7 to recover the chime and gain stays at 2 to keep it glassy clean. The Katana's Clean channel emulates Fender-style headroom well. Neck pickup with tone at 8 rolls off just enough high-end ice to match the rounded P-90 attack.

PRO TIPPick closer to the bridge than you normally would for cleans — this compensates for the humbucker's darker voice and gives you that snappy, defined arpeggio articulation Charlotte gets on the intro riff.
