Why these settings

The G&L Legacy single-coils match Keith Scott's Strat bridge tone perfectly. We use the TS Mini as a mid-hump boost into the Silverline's British Crunch voice (EL34 setting and ISF at 10) rather than full amp distortion, keeping the chord arpeggios distinct and chimey while the CH-1 delivers the iconic chorus swirl.

PRO TIPPick firmly right near the bridge saddles on the low strings during the intro arpeggio to nail that bright, cutting snap heard on the track.
