Why these settings

The Hertz DG-20 is an entry-level solid-state amp, so it lacks the vintage Selmer/Magnatone warmth and built-in tremolo. Compensate by rolling the tone knob way down on your guitar to darken the sound, keeping treble low (3) to avoid solid-state harshness, and maxing the onboard reverb (8) to approximate the dripping spring reverb and Fairchild reverb used on the recording. Gain stays very low — this is a clean tone.

PRO TIPRoll your guitar's volume knob to 8 instead of 10 — this cleans up the attack and adds softness that mimics the intimate, bedroom feel of the original. Play with your fingers or a very light pick attack near the neck pickup for that pillowy, late-night texture Turner achieves.
