Why these settings

The Frontman 15G has a bright 8-inch speaker, so treble is rolled back to 4 and bass set to 6 to emulate a warmer studio clean. Running the Squier Strat in the neck+middle (position 4) naturally provides the scooped, glassy indie-pop quack heard throughout the track. A subtle analog chorus pedal is recommended to capture the signature dreamy modulation of the recording.

PRO TIPPlay with a relaxed, light fingerstyle or a thin pick near the middle pickup to achieve that rounded, bouncy bedroom-pop transient response without harsh attack.
