Why these settings

The Roland JC-120 provides an ultra-clean, transparent foundation that mirrors a pristine acoustic/orchestral DI signal. Setting the NUX Horseman as a near-clean boost warms up the Superstrat's neck pickup to emulate the roundness and singing sustain of an orchestral lead instrument. Roll the guitar tone back slightly to tame the JC-120's high-frequency sparkle for a smooth classical lead voice.

PRO TIPPick near the 12th fret with the meat of your thumb and fingers (or a heavy, rounded plectrum) to achieve a round, singing classical attack rather than a sharp bridge pick snap.
