Why these settings

The THR10II Boutique clean voice replicates the Fender-style sparkle of the original. Your Pacifica's Alnico V single coils at the neck position give you the right glassy character. Tone knob rolled to 7 tames the high-frequency ice pick without getting muddy — matching the warm shimmer of offset guitars on the recording.

PRO TIPPick closer to the neck with the fleshy part of your fingers rather than hard pick attack — The Neighbourhood's clean tones rely on soft dynamics and letting the chorus/reverb do the work, not aggressive picking.
