Andy Summers tracked the iconic clean arpeggio through a Roland JC-120 and Fender Twin with single-coil pickups, using heavy compression and chorus. On your PRS Custom 24 humbuckers, use the coil-split middle position to capture that bright single-coil attack, running the Tank-G Clean 1 amp model with gain kept low to preserve maximum headroom. Boost the treble to 7 and dial in moderate compression so the palm mutes stay snappy and defined without clipping.
