Why these settings

The original uses nylon-string acoustic, so we're chasing sparkle and clarity without any grit. Your Ibanez humbuckers are hotter and darker than a Telecaster's single coils, so I've pushed treble to 7 and presence to 6 to compensate, while rolling your guitar's tone knob to 7 to tame any harshness. The Marshall Code's JC-120 clean model gives the most transparent, acoustic-like response for this Latin-pop fingerpicking tone.

PRO TIPPick or fingerpick directly over the neck pickup with your fingers angled slightly toward the fretboard—this mimics the soft, round attack of a nylon-string and prevents the metallic snap that wound electric strings produce when struck near the bridge.
