The Glarry GA-20 is a basic solid-state practice amp with limited EQ range. Marco Pirroni's original AC30 tone had Class A chime and harmonic richness your amp cannot replicate. I pushed treble to 7 and mids to 6 to capture the bright, punchy character. Gain at 3 gives slight edge without mushiness — the original was mostly clean with tube compression. Your Glarry guitar likely has generic humbuckers; bridge pickup with tone at 8 prevents muddiness while retaining some warmth.
