Why these settings

Since you are running direct into a Focusrite Solo interface, you will rely on software amp modeling in your DAW. Select a Roland JC-120 or Fender clean amp model with low gain to keep the signal pristinely clean. Compensate for the Schecter CR-6's hotter humbuckers by rolling tone down to 8 and using the split or middle/both pickups position to mimic Fred Smith's chimey single-coil top end without harshness.

PRO TIPEngage coil-split on the Schecter CR-6 (or use the middle/combined pickup setting) and pick near the bridge with light, arpeggiated strokes so the chorus and delay trails bloom cleanly without overloading the plugin input.
