Why these settings

The AC30C2 lacks a standalone Mid control (relying on the interactive Bass/Treble network) and naturally delivers chime rather than the thick, woolly low-mids of a cranked Selmer or Orange. Push the Top Boost channel volume to 8 to force natural power-tube saturation and pull Treble down to 5 (with the Tone Cut control dialed around 6-7) to eliminate top-end fizz. Adding a ProCo Rat 2 will immediately deliver the signature fuzzy compression of the studio track.

PRO TIPRoll your Strat bridge pickup tone knob down to 8 to tame the single-coil bite and pick aggressively right over the bridge to replicate the percussive attack of the main riff.
