Why these settings

The solid-state Wenstone GE-25 has a clean channel with standard 3-band EQ and no presence control. Spinetta's iconic electric guitar on Bajan is an organic edge-of-breakup clean, so keeping the amp on the Clean channel around gain 4 provides dynamic warmth without harsh solid-state clipping. Neither your Fuzz Face nor Chorus is active here since the studio track relies purely on direct mic'd tube-style clean response and natural room resonance.

PRO TIPPosition 4 (neck + middle) on your Strat captures the signature hollow, 'quacky' woodiness of Spinetta's phrasing; roll the guitar volume back slightly to 9 and pick softly over the fretboard edge to get that rounded 1973 ION Studios dynamic.
