Why these settings

The Squier Affinity Strat naturally delivers the glassy in-between single-coil character of the original '61 Strat. We run the Ampero's Jazz Clean model with Bright engaged and gain low to replicate the pristine JC-120/console headroom. The onboard studio compressor and stereo chorus blocks recreate the classic Lexicon rack processing directly inside the Ampero signal chain.

PRO TIPPick lightly with a medium-thin plectrum close to the neck pickup to keep the attack percussive without driving the clean model into edge-of-breakup.
