The Vox VT40X is a digital modeling amplifier, so select the AC30TB model for authentic chime and clean headroom. The Stratocaster's position 4 (neck + middle) delivers the iconic scooped 'quack' needed to sit neatly underneath the synth layers without competing for low-end. The onboard modulation and delay provide the distinct glossy Vocaloid pop production polish without needing external stompboxes.
