Why these settings

The MG15 is a solid-state amp with a naturally bright, slightly harsh voicing compared to the warm tube-like clean on the recording. Rolling treble down to 4 and bumping mid to 6 compensates for the MG15's tendency toward thin cleans. Your Harley Benton humbucker will help add the warmth the original has—use the neck pickup with tone rolled to 6 to soften the high end.

PRO TIPPick closer to the neck (over the fretboard) with the fleshy part of your fingers rather than the sharp pick tip—this replicates the soft, pillowy attack Daniel Kim uses on the melodic intro lines. The slightly backed-off volume knob at 8 gives you clean-up headroom when you dig in.
