The Squier Stratocaster single-coils are naturally brighter and thinner than the original humbucker/Tele neck tone, so position 4 (neck+middle) combined with rolling the tone knob down to 8 warms up the top end. On the Helix US Deluxe model, mids are pushed to 6 and treble kept flat to offset the Strat's glassiness while maintaining clean headroom. The built-in delay and ambient reverb blocks inside Helix provide the necessary wash without muddying the core clean attack.
