Why these settings

Your EVH 5150III is the direct descendant of the Peavey 5150 Amott used for over a decade — this is as close to source-accurate as it gets. The 5150III has slightly more gain on tap and tighter low end than the original, so gain is set at 7 rather than the 7-9 range documented for the original 5150. Your Les Paul Modern's humbuckers are warmer than the ESP Ninja's hot ceramic pickups, so backing tone knob to 8 compensates for the Gibson's thicker voicing.

PRO TIPAmott uses a 'parked wah' technique — a wah pedal left at 30-40% of its sweep as a static midrange filter. Without a wah, you can approximate this by boosting your amp's mid control to 7 and rolling your tone knob down to 7, which adds a similar nasal, forward quality that makes melodic leads cut through.
