Why these settings

The Boss Katana Mini features only Gain, Volume, a 3-band EQ, and a built-in Tape Delay, with no physical presence or reverb knob. The Clean channel is selected to mirror the pristine Fender/JC clean headroom, with mids and treble pushed to match the bright single-coil bite through your humbucker guitar. Select the split 'neck+middle' position on your Ibanez HSH configuration to achieve the authentic chiming, out-of-phase indie sound.

PRO TIPPick lightly with the pads of your fingers or a thin pick near the neck pickup to capture the soft, airy transient attack of the track's main riff.
