01Marshall-style Overdrive / Plexi Drive (e.g. Marshall Bluesbreaker or Boss BD-2)
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; adds authentic Marshall-style grit and compression to a practice amp
The AGL-20 is an unrecognized compact practice amp, so only universal controls (gain, bass, treble, volume) are set while unverified knobs remain null. To compensate for the thin, bright single-coil bridge pickup of your Squier Strat compared to Angus Young's thick Gibson humbucker, keep bass at 6 and roll the guitar's bridge tone knob down to 8 to tame harsh high-end frequencies. Run the amp's drive channel at moderate gain (6) to deliver classic Marshall-style crunch without falling into modern oversaturation.
