Why these settings

Your Fender SKX 65R is naturally scooped and bright versus the Marshall-voiced original. Mid pushed to 7 compensates for Fender's mid-scoop; treble dropped to 5 tames Strat single-coil brightness versus the original's warmer humbuckers. A TS-style pedal is strongly recommended—without it, the Fender's clean headroom won't deliver the singing sustain this solo demands.

PRO TIPTune down 1.5 steps to D♭ standard to match the recording. For the sustained bends, use slow, wide vibrato from the wrist—not finger vibrato—and let notes breathe. The neck pickup with tone rolled to 7 softens the Strat's ice-pick frequencies and gets closer to the humbucker warmth of the original.
