Why these settings

The Katana-Mini has only Gain, Bass, and Treble knobs with a 3-way channel selector (Clean/Crunch/Brown). Set to Clean channel. The original tone is Fender-style warmth, and your Squier Strat's single coils are already bright—rolling tone to 6 and using neck pickup softens the attack to match the intimate studio sound. Volume at 8 gives slight dynamic compression feel.

PRO TIPUse your fingers or the fleshy part of the pick near the neck pickup to get that soft, rounded attack heard in the recording—hard picking at the bridge will sound too aggressive for this tone.
