In front of amp model — evens out the arpeggio attack

Using the NUX MG-300's Jazz Clean (Roland JC-120) model provides the ultra-clean, transparent platform necessary for Gustavo Cerati's 80s new wave clean. The Stratocaster's bridge+middle 'in-between' position adds the quacky upper-mid hollow character that complements the fast, compressed arpeggiated picking. We push the treble and presence on the modeler to emulate the hi-fi studio sparkle and chorus shimmer of the original recording.
