Why these settings

The Fender Champion 20 lacks a dedicated mid knob, so dial the Voice selector to the high-gain Metal voice to replicate the aggressive Marshall and RAT clipping from the record. Set Treble to 7 to deliver the signature top-end bite while Bass at 6 keeps the 8-inch speaker punchy without flubbing out. Clean verse: roll guitar volume down to 3 or switch to the neck pickup.

PRO TIPDig in hard with a thick pick near the bridge saddles to accentuate the abrasive, percussive attack of the signature 'woo-hoo' chorus riff.
