Why these settings

This track is a raw cassette boombox home demo played on acoustic guitar, so running your Cort X100 humbuckers into the Valeton RH100 headphone amp requires the cleanest possible setting to avoid unwanted saturation. Rolling off tone to 6 and selecting the neck pickup softens the magnetic humbucker bite to mimic a woody acoustic attack. Reverb is set to 0 and gain is kept ultra-low to emulate the bone-dry cassette mic capture.

PRO TIPPick with the flesh of your thumb and fingers near the fretboard edge rather than a hard pick near the bridge to recreate the warm, intimate thud of Kurt's home demo.
