Why these settings

The Global GA-15M is a basic practice amp whose built-in drive lacks the thick harmonic saturation and tightness of a cranked Marshall JCM stack. To avoid harsh, fizzy clipping from the small speaker, keep the amp on its clean channel with gain low and use a recommended high-gain distortion pedal to generate the shoegaze wall-of-sound. Controls like presence and reverb are omitted as this model only features standard Gain, Bass, Mid, Treble, and Master Volume.

PRO TIPUse an aggressive, consistent downward strumming attack across the full chord voicings on your bridge single-coil to capture the punchy cut and chord definition typical of Japanese math/shoegaze rock.
