The GP-100's 'US RECT' amp model delivers the cascading saturation and punchy lower-mids of the original solo. On your Stratocaster, use the neck single-coil with the tone rolled down slightly to round off glassiness and nail that flute-like, singing Rahman lead tone. The onboard Green 9 overdrive tightens the front end without introducing harshness.
