The Display4top EG-20W is a basic solid-state practice amp with Gain, Bass, Mid, Treble, and Volume controls (no presence or built-in reverb), so keep the drive switch off and gain low to replicate Kevin Parker's ultra-clean Roland JC-120 platform. The amp alone delivers the crisp clean snap, but the quintessential 'Currents' character relies heavily on slow phaser modulation. If you add an analog phaser pedal later, keep the amp on these exact clean settings to let the pedal shape the movement.
