Baby Came Home 2 / Valentines amp settings — Yamaha THR10II

01THR10II Built-in Compressor (via THR Remote app)
Emulates the Boss CS-3 compression on the original — keeps dynamics even without squashing
02THR10II Built-in Echo/Reverb
Select ECHO/REV mode for combined delay+reverb wash — this is critical to the atmospheric vibe
The original Jazzmaster has warmer, darker single coils than your Pacifica's brighter Alnico V pickups. Compensate by rolling tone knob to 6 and keeping treble moderate at 6 instead of higher. The THR10II's Hall Reverb or Echo/Reverb mode substitutes for the Eventide Space — push the effect level higher than normal (7) to get that washy, ambient character. Gain stays very low; this is a clean-platform tone where the atmosphere comes from effects, not overdrive.
