03Reverb (Code 50 built-in)
Hall or plate style for ambient wash
Original likely used warmer humbuckers into a Fender/Vox clean platform. Your Strat's single coils are brighter and lower output, so treble dropped from ~6.5 to 5 and presence from 5.5 to 4 to tame ice-pick highs. Bass stays at 6 for body. Neck pickup with tone rolled to 6 warms the Strat toward humbucker territory. Code 50 Clean channel stays pristine—let the built-in modulation/delay/reverb create the ambient texture.
