Why these settings

The Joyo DC-15 lacks a dedicated mid knob and presence control, so mids and presence are set to null while treble is pulled down to 5 to tame Strat bridge brightness. Using the clean amp voice at gain 3 prevents thin solid-state clipping and keeps the base platform warm and articulate. Dial the onboard Space knob to blend delay and reverb simultaneously to recreate the ambient record space without external pedals.

PRO TIPPosition 4 (neck + middle) on the Strat provides the quintessential hollow quack and chime Paras Thakur uses for the iconic intro arpeggio; roll the guitar volume back slightly to 9 to round off percussive pick click.
