Studio ambience emulation
The John Mayer Big Dipper pickups naturally scoop the mid frequencies around 1kHz, which matches the vintage studio-direct City Pop chank perfectly. Keeping the M-Vave Tank G's clean amp model gain around 2 ensures completely unclipped headroom while setting the compressor block up front provides the snappy transient percussiveness heard across the track. Treble and presence are pushed slightly to recreate the crisp studio console console top-end sheen.
