Why these settings

The JBL Bandbox Trio is a PA-style powered speaker, not a guitar amp with preamp voicing—it reproduces your guitar signal flat and clean, which actually suits this tone well since the original uses pristine Fender cleans. Your Redondo CE acoustic-electric with its onboard preamp will deliver the warm, articulate foundation this song needs. Keep gain minimal (just enough for presence), roll tone knob to 7 to tame piezo brightness, and use moderate reverb for depth without wash.

PRO TIPPlay fingerstyle or with a thumb pick near the soundhole to capture the soft, intimate attack heard on the recording—picking near the bridge will sound too thin and harsh for this ballad's warmth.
