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.
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.
