Why these settings

Your Telecaster bridge single-coil is brighter and more cutting than the humbucker tones often layered in TOP productions — roll tone to 7 to soften the ice-pick highs. The GE300's Fender Deluxe model stays relatively clean; the TS block provides the grit while keeping low-end tight. Mid pushed to 6 to cut through the synth-heavy mix characteristic of this band.

PRO TIPPalm-mute the lower strings aggressively during the verse riff — TOP's guitar parts often function percussively alongside the drums. The tight gate and compressed TS tone reward staccato, rhythmic playing over sustained notes.
