Playing tips
- Use your amp's built-in reverb set to a moderate level to recreate the spacious feel of the original tone.
- Pick with a dynamic attack to emphasize the biting Stratocaster-like response.
- Experiment with your volume knob to roll back slightly for a cleaner edge-of-breakup tone when needed.
