Why these settings

The Hiwatt (Hiway 100) circuit has massive clean headroom and a punchy, flatter EQ compared to the scooped, chimey Fender Deluxe Reverb. Set Bass and Mid flat around 5 while nudging Treble to 6 and Presence to 4 to mimic the Fender top-end air. Using the Pacifica's neck+middle position compensates for the lack of Jaguar humbucker warmth while maintaining high-end indie clarity.

PRO TIPHer's signature bouncy rhythm relies on a light touch with a thin pick right over the fretboard edge to accentuate the snappy chorus warble without driving the preamp.
