To emulate the signature bright acoustic rhythm on the solid-body Cort X300 humbuckers, use the split neck+middle or middle position to cut lower-mid boom. On the NUX MG-300, select the dedicated Acoustic simulation / IR with a studio compressor to capture the percussive, airy top-end bite of Pritam's studio track. Bass is rolled off slightly to prevent mud when strumming open-chord progressions.
