The Grailton GA-20 is a generic practice amp without specialized voicing or a presence control, so the clean channel is dialed with conservative treble and rounded bass to match the warm, mellow Kundiman style. Selecting position 4 (neck+middle) on your Burswood Stratocaster softens the pick attack and rounds out single-coil harshness. Rolling your guitar tone back to 7 removes high-frequency bite to replicate the darker, intimate acoustic-electric hybrid character of the recording.
