Why these settings

Your Suhr Classic S paired with the Fender Twin Reverb naturally matches the original tracking setup. Keep the bright switch off to prevent the Suhr single-coils from sounding harsh on top, and push the Twin's mids slightly to 6 to fill out the body of the chords against the synth-heavy production. Leave the TS Mini bypassed to ensure zero breakup.

PRO TIPPosition 4 (neck + middle) provides the essential 'in-between' phase cancelation that yields the glassy, percussive chime heard on modern Timbaland and Justin Timberlake rhythm tracks.
