Why these settings

The Meteoro Vulcano Space Junior 35G has a clean channel with a 3-band EQ and onboard spring reverb, but no presence control so presence is nulled. To capture the twangy yet rounded punch of the studio Telecaster on your Stratocaster, use position 4 (bridge+middle) with the tone rolled off slightly to 8. Keep the clean channel gain low at 3 for pristine headroom and bump the mids and bass to 6 to emulate the fat low-end of the studio track's Avalon compression and SSL EQ.

PRO TIPUse a very firm palm-mute right against the bridge saddles while picking with a stiff 1.0mm+ pick; hitting the lower strings cleanly gives the percussive pop heartbeat that defines this track.
