The original was recorded using a Stratocaster into a Fender Vibro Champ clean with tape delay and studio reverb. On your Roland Cube 20XL, use the JC Clean channel for maximum headroom and clarity, slightly cutting the bass to avoid low-end mud from the Ibanez humbuckers while boosting treble for chime. The Roland Cube 20XL faceplate has a dedicated JC Clean channel (Volume only, no Gain knob), a 3-band EQ, and no Presence control.
