The Tostar BTS3 is an unrecognized practice amp, so controls are kept strictly to standard universal knobs with presence nulled. Because Daniel Kim's tone relies on a pristine Fender clean platform draped in chorus and ambient decay, the amp is kept clean at low gain with built-in reverb raised to 7. Rolling the guitar tone back slightly warms up the Strat-style single-coils to capture that mellow neo-soul warmth.
