Why these settings

The Sanchez TG-20 is a basic practice amp with 3-band EQ and no onboard reverb, so keep the clean channel gain low to prevent harsh solid-state clipping. King Krule gets his signature dark jazz tone by rolling back treble, so bass is set slightly higher with treble tamed at 4 to counteract the bright ceramic single-coils of your Stagg S300. Adding an external chorus and deep spring reverb pedal will instantly capture the moody, modulated atmosphere of the track.

PRO TIPPlay with your bare thumb and index finger rather than a pick to soften the attack and achieve Archy Marshall's characteristic warm, percussive chord strums.
