Why these settings

To emulate Brandon Hagen's mic'd acoustic on an electric rig, the Laney LG12 is kept on the clean channel with low gain to prevent clipping. Selecting the neck+middle (in-between 4th position) on the Strat-style Ashton hollows out the harsh electric mids, while a mild treble boost on the amp recreates the crisp acoustic pick attack.

PRO TIPStrum with a thin pick (.50mm to .60mm) close to the bridge to emulate the transient snap and air of a mic'd acoustic guitar.
