Why these settings

The THR10II's Boutique Clean voicing approximates Fender blackface cleans. Your Pacifica's Alnico V single coils are brighter and hotter than a vintage Tele, so I rolled treble back from the original's ~7 to 6 and set tone knob to 7 to soften the top end. Gain stays very low—Buckley's tone relied on clean headroom and touch dynamics, not breakup.

PRO TIPUse your picking hand to control dynamics—pick softly near the neck for the verses, then dig in closer to the bridge during the chorus swells. Let chords ring and decay naturally; this song breathes through sustain and space, not busy strumming.
