Why these settings

The VT40X's DELUXE CL model replicates the vintage American clean Álvaro Henríquez used on the studio cut. Because the GRX40 single-coil neck pickup is slightly brighter and thinner than a vintage Strat or hollowbody, bass is kept balanced at 5 while treble is tamed at 5 and the guitar tone is rolled back to 8 to maintain warmth. The VT40X has no physical presence knob, so presence is omitted.

PRO TIPArpeggiate using your bare fingers rather than a pick to get the soft, rounded transient attack heard throughout the entire track.
