Why these settings

The Telecaster Thinline's lower output and brighter, hollow acoustic nature needs a slight mid boost (mid 6) and compensated bass to match the thick humbucker resonance of the original Les Paul. AMP Model 7 on the Tank G supplies the Bogner/Mesa saturation, while keeping the reverb completely at zero preserves the bone-dry articulation required for the iconic intro gallop.

PRO TIPAggressive, heavy palm-muting right against the bridge saddles is crucial to get that signature percussive 'chug-gallop' punch without note smearing.
