Why these settings

The Fender Twin model (Twn Green) on the Vypyr X1 provides pristine headroom with a glassy top end to match the clean hip-hop loop. Position 4 (neck+middle) on your Strat gives the requisite scooped 'quack' and chime. Bass is kept moderate to prevent low-end clash with 808 sub-bass elements.

PRO TIPPick firmly with the meat of your thumb or hybrid pluck close to the middle pickup to get a rounded, percussive snap on the arpeggiated chords.
