Original rig

Fender Professional Stratocaster, Line6 HX Stomp (likely Fender Deluxe/Twin model with light drive), dynamic playing for the extended solo section

Glassy, chimey clean-to-edge-of-breakup with single-coil sparkle, transitioning to singing sustain on the extended solo — Korean indie rock clarity with American clean headroom

RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. Essential for the singing solo sustain in the second half. Use as a clean boost into the JCM900's preamp. Without this, you'll lack the harmonic bloom on sustained notes.

Why these settings

The original used a Fender-style clean platform (via HX Stomp modeling) with single coils. Your JCM900 is mid-forward and breaks up earlier, so gain is set low (3) to preserve clarity. Your Jackson's humbuckers are hotter and darker than the original Strat singles—compensate by rolling tone knob to 7 and using position 2 or 4 for quack and clarity. Mid pushed to 7 to capture the Korean indie rock 'present but not harsh' character that cuts through the synth layers.

PRO TIPFor the extended solo section, ride your guitar's volume knob: start at 7 for the cleaner passages, roll to 10 when the solo opens up for natural compression and sustain bloom. The original performance relies heavily on pick dynamics—dig in harder for the aggressive stabs, lighten up for the singing legato lines.
