Why these settings

The REXTONE KA-40 is a compact solid-state practice amp with an unverified control layout, so middle and presence are nulled and EQ is shaped using the verified bass and treble controls. Treble is pushed to 7 to capture the lively indie chime, while keeping gain on the clean channel around 4 for clean headroom with just a touch of solid-state grit when strummed hard. Selecting the in-between neck+middle single-coil setting on your Superstrat gives the signature scooped glassiness of the original recording.

PRO TIPStrum with a medium-thin pick near the bridge-middle boundary with a relaxed wrist to get the percussive, swaying bounce central to the track's rhythm.
