| Knob | Setting (0–10) |

RECOMMENDED — not currently owned (approximates the dotted/repeating spatial delay essential to the album's ambient weave)
The Acoustic G35fx clean solid-state voicing provides plenty of headroom, but lacks the organic top chime of a Vox AC30. On your Stratocaster, the middle pickup with tone rolled down slightly to 8 softens the thin single-coil bite closer to Jonny Greenwood's Wide Range humbuckers while preserving arpeggio separation. On the G35fx faceplate, select Hall/Reverb DSP mode turned up to 7 to match the orangery room reverb from St Catherine's Court.
