Why these settings

To emulate Cerati's bright single-coil Strat sound on a P-90 or humbucker equipped Les Paul Junior, treble is boosted to 8 and bass is rolled back to 4 to prevent low-end mud. The RP90's Twin Reverb amp model provides pristine headroom so the chorus and delay blocks can generate the wide, glassy 1980s new-wave spatial depth.

PRO TIPUse a thin-to-medium pick and strike near the bridge with light palm muting on the sixteenth-note stabs to emphasize the bright, percussive new-wave attack.
