Why these settings

The studio rhythm track relies on multi-tracked high-gain British tube amps with a tight midrange crunch. On the Harley Benton HB-20R solid-state combo, engage the Overdrive channel with gain at 7 to capture that heavy pop-rock saturation without overloading the 8-inch speaker into muddy fuzz. Treble is pushed to 7 and mid to 6 to give your dual-humbucker guitar the bite and string definition heard in the chorus. Note that the HB-20R faceplate does not feature a presence control, so presence is null.

PRO TIPDig in hard with a stiff pick close to the bridge on the chorus power chords, and mute firmly between stabs to recreate the tight, compressed studio production.
