Why these settings

The Max Music Gigkit is a basic practice amp with limited EQ (gain, bass, treble, volume only — no mid, presence, or reverb knobs). The original tone has Marshall-esque mid-forward grind; since the Gigkit lacks a mid control, set bass and treble flat at 5 to avoid the scooped Fender-style voicing. Gain at 6 approximates the recording's moderate crunch. Your Strat's single coils are brighter and lower-output than the likely humbucker original — position 2 (bridge+middle) adds body, and rolling tone to 7 tames ice-pick highs.

PRO TIPDig in hard with your pick near the bridge for that aggressive attack heard on the recording — the Strat's dynamics will respond, giving you the gritty bite without needing more gain. If you add a reverb pedal later, a medium hall with 30-40% mix captures the track's washy atmosphere.
