Why these settings

Because you own the Twinote Distortion pedal, it serves as the dedicated high-gain distortion stage while your Clifton GA-15 practice amp stays parked on the clean channel with low gain (2) to avoid muddy double-gain stacking. On your single-coil Clifton Pioneer Strat, the bridge pickup provides the necessary pop-punk bite, while raising bass to 6 on the amp compensates for the lighter low end compared to Kamikazee's dual-humbucker rhythm tracking. The GA-15 has a 3-band EQ without presence or onboard reverb controls, so both are nulled. Clean verse: roll guitar volume down to 5-6 or bypass the Twinote Distortion pedal.

PRO TIPDig in with hard, aggressive downstrokes right near the bridge saddles to get the tight, percussive chunk heard on the Maharot rhythm tracks.
