Why these settings

The Kadence Astroman's single-coil Strat configuration naturally delivers the chime needed for the intro chords, especially in the neck+middle (position 4) notch. On the Vault Frenzy 2.0 practice amp, keep the clean channel gain low around 3 to avoid harsh solid-state clipping, and push mids slightly to match the rounded fullness of the studio mix. Since the amp has no physical presence knob, presence is omitted.

PRO TIPPick lightly over the middle pickup with the flesh of your thumb or a thin pick to get that soft, singing indie-rock attack heard in Paras Thakur's intro riff.
