The Sublime guitar tone for “Santaria”, dialed in for a Roland Cube 40GX with a Fender American Original 60s Stratocaster. Studio version, Sublime (1996 self-titled album)
Fender Twin Reverb, Fender Stratocaster, light compression
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|

| Bass | 5 |
| Mid | 7 |
| Treble | 6 |
| Presence | 0 |
| Reverb | 3 |

The Cube's JC CLEAN channel directly emulates the Roland JC-120 — very close to a Twin Reverb's clean headroom and sparkle. Gain at 4 gives slight warmth without breakup. Mid pushed to 7 compensates for the JC voicing's natural scoop vs the Twin's fuller mids. Your American Original 60s Strat with its Pure Vintage '65 pickups is period-correct and will nail the bright attack.
