Why these settings

The Epiphone Explorer's humbuckers are warmer and darker than Yuri Kasparyan's single-coil Soviet instruments, so treble is pushed to 8 and bass is rolled back to 4 to restore the iconic jangly cut. Running the Clean model with the onboard chorus captures the sparse, cold new wave atmosphere without driving into unwanted modern distortion. The middle pickup toggle position on your Explorer provides the thinnest, most articulate attack to emulate that distinctive late-80s Soviet post-punk chime.

PRO TIPPick close to the bridge saddles using a thin, flexible plectrum and aggressive upstrokes on the high strings to emulate Kasparyan's brittle, metallic transient attack.
