RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; essential for the warbly lo-fi texture
The Marshall Mini Jubilee is naturally aggressive and mid-focused, so you must keep it strictly on the clean channel with low gain to prevent unwanted breakup. Using the Stratocaster's neck+middle position with tone rolled back softens the Marshall's inherent high-mid bite to capture the song's warm, direct-recorded aesthetic.
