Why these settings

The Matchless Chieftain is a boutique Class A amp with warm, detailed cleans—the Champion's '65 Twin voice is the closest match with its headroom and clarity. Your Strandberg's humbuckers are hotter than the original Strat single coils, so I dropped treble from the original's 11 o'clock (5-6) to 4, and kept gain minimal at 2 to preserve clean sparkle. Mid pushed to 6 compensates for the Fender's natural mid-scoop versus the Matchless's richer midrange.

PRO TIPPick closer to the neck with the fleshy part of your fingertip or a thin pick held loosely—ZUTOMAYO's clean guitar tone has a soft, rounded attack that avoids pick clack. Roll your tone knob down to 7 to tame the Strandberg's bridge-side brightness and get that 'vocal' quality in the upper mids.
