Why these settings

The iconic rhythm part relies on ultra-clean headroom paired with thick chorus and studio space. Using the Tank G's clean American amp model gives the open top-end of the studio rack/JC-120 chain, while the chorus and delay blocks replicate the wide 80s production. Keeping preamp gain low ensures the arpeggios remain crystal clear without clipping.

PRO TIPPick lightly near the bridge with the pickup selector in position 4 (neck + middle) to get that signature bouncy, glassy Strat 'quack' on the opening arpeggios.
