Why these settings

The Aurax PS100 is an unrecognized compact practice unit, so use its onboard crunch channel at moderate-high gain to recreate the cranked Fender and dual-overdrive breakup. Bass is trimmed to 4 to prevent low-end mud on rapid indie-punk chord stabs, while treble is pushed to 7 to match Good Kid's sharp single-coil cut. If you add the recommended TS9 pedal later, drop the amp gain to 2 on the clean setting and use the pedal as your primary drive.

PRO TIPDig in with a stiff, heavy pick (1.0mm+) right near the bridge saddles to get the sharp, percussive attack essential for Good Kid's fast rhythm riffs.
