RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. A Behringer TO800 or Joyo Vintage Overdrive (~$25-30) would nail the pushed chorus sections while keeping verses clean by toggling off

Why these settings

The Sqoe S4 is a budget practice amp with limited headroom and a somewhat boxy midrange. I pushed mids to 6 and treble to 6 to compensate for the smaller speaker's lack of presence compared to the studio's likely 4x12 cab. Your Epiphone LP SL's humbuckers will provide adequate output, but the ceramic pickups can be harsh — rolling tone to 8 tames the brittle highs while keeping articulation. Without an overdrive pedal, use guitar volume at 7 for verses (cleans up the amp gain) and 10 for choruses.

PRO TIPFor the verse-to-chorus dynamic Hujan uses, keep your picking hand light during verses and dig in hard on the downstrokes for chorus power chords — your touch controls the gain more than any knob on a small amp like this.
