The Sanchez TG-20 practice amp has a basic 2-band EQ and no presence or mid controls, so mid and presence are omitted. Keep the amp strictly on the Clean channel with low gain to capture the glassy, punchy 80s pop funk/rock groove without solid-state drive fizz. Using position 2 (bridge + middle) on your Sanchez Strat replicates the signature out-of-phase chime of the original tracks.
