Why these settings

The Yamaha THR10II CRUNCH voice accurately recreates the chime and breakup of the Vox AC15. Setting gain high on this model achieves the fuzzy saturation of the record without needing an external fuzz stompbox. Rolling treble back to 4 and guitar tone to 7 tames the Pacifica's single-coil top end for that warm, lo-fi bedroom aesthetic.

PRO TIPUse Position 4 (neck + middle) on the Pacifica and pluck with the pads of your fingers rather than a hard pick to get the smooth, pillowy transient response heard on the track.
