Why these settings

Eross Candra's rhythm tone on 'Kita' relies on a classic late-90s British mid-crunch pushed by a Tube Screamer. On the Line 6 POD XT Live, selecting the 'Brit J-900' amp model provides the right aggressive bite while dialing mids to 7 prevents the Telecaster single coils from sounding overly thin. Using the internal Screamer block as a boost tightens the low end without causing digital muddiness.

PRO TIPSet your Telecaster to the middle position (both pickups) and strike the open chord arpeggios firmly near the bridge to get that signature bouncy 1999 Indonesian alternative pop-rock snap.
