Why these settings

The Harley Benton HB-10G lacks a master presence control and onboard reverb, so mid-frequencies are pushed to 7 on the drive channel to mirror Tom Morello's JCM800 mid-bark. Gain is set to 7 to deliver singing sustain on your bridge humbucker without turning the 6-inch speaker fizzy. Bass is kept flat at 5 to prevent the small practice enclosure from bottoming out on low notes.

PRO TIPFor the solo lines without a Whammy pedal, play the lead melody an octave higher (starting at the 15th fret on the high E string) with strong, steady vibrato to mimic Morello's singing vocal-like pitch rise.
