The original uses humbuckers into a Mesa's warm, mid-forward voicing. Your Strat's single coils are brighter and thinner, so I rolled the tone knob to 6 and dropped volume to 8 to reduce high-end ice and simulate the compressed, softer attack of humbuckers. Bass stays moderate because Strats don't produce the same low-end thump—pushing it higher would get muddy without the humbucker foundation.
