Why these settings

CANNOT MATCH — The Fender Acoustasonic is a guitar, not an amplifier. Your Fistortion pedal and Squier Telecaster have no amp to run through. To achieve this tone, you need a clean Fender-style amp (Blues Jr, Champion 20, or even a Boss Katana on 'Clean' voicing). The original uses a clean Fender platform with light overdrive and hall reverb.

PRO TIPIf you acquire a small Fender amp, set it completely clean, use your bridge pickup with tone rolled to 7 for jangle without ice-pick, and add a hall reverb pedal — the Fistortion is too aggressive for this tone; a Pork Loin or Blues Driver at low gain would be ideal.
