Why these settings

The Sqoe Selp200 (Les Paul style humbuckers) has a thicker, darker output than the single-coil Strat typically used for modern Nepali indie leads. Running the neck pickup with tone slightly rolled to 8 retains a creamy singing quality while keeping the Flamma FG200 amp model gain at 3 to prevent low-end mud from the humbuckers. The TS drive block provides the crucial vocal mid-hump needed to cut through the mix.

PRO TIPUse light, melodic finger vibrato and pick near the neck pickup for the softer opening phrases of the solo, then dig in with the edge of the pick during bends to bring out the harmonic overtones.
