Why these settings

The Cort CM15R has a standard 3-band EQ and onboard reverb, but lacks a separate gain control on its clean channel (volume only) and has no presence knob. Setting the Pacifica to position 4 (neck + middle single-coils) provides the scooped acoustic-like quack and chime needed to emulate a mic'd acoustic guitar on an electric setup. Treble is raised to 7 to capture acoustic string sparkle, while bass is kept at 4 to prevent small-speaker muddiness.

PRO TIPPlace a capo on the 4th fret and pick lightly over the bridge-to-middle area using bare fingers rather than a thick plectrum to match the warm, woody attack of the recording.
