Why these settings

The Levinson Belcat is a budget solid-state amp with limited headroom and a brighter, thinner voicing than the original Marshall valve stack. The GE100 RAT model becomes your gain source — amp gain stays at 3 to provide clean amplification only. Your Strat's single coils are brighter and lower output than Coxon's Hayman, so bass is pushed to 7 and treble pulled to 6 to compensate for the missing low-mid thickness. Rolling tone knob to 7 tames the Strat's ice-pick highs.

PRO TIPCoxon's attack on this track is deliberately sloppy and aggressive — palm-mute the verses loosely and hit the chorus power chords with your pick angled hard into the strings for that trashy, spitty breakup.
