Why these settings

The Display4top is an unbranded beginner practice amp equipped with only basic gain, volume, treble, and bass controls, so mid and presence are set to null. 'Safe In Your Skin' relies on a clean, dynamic Marshall tube tone right at the verge of breakup; keep the amp gain low at 3 to prevent the small solid-state speaker from distorting harshly. A touch of external hall reverb is recommended to replicate the ambient space heard on the studio cut.

PRO TIPPick with the flesh of your thumb or use a soft medium pick near the neck joint to capture the soft, intimate transient attack of the intro chords.
