Andrew Latimer played humbuckers with rolled-off highs for his flute-like sustain, so on your single-coil Stratocaster you need the neck pickup with tone dialed back to 7. Because high-gain dirt and compression pedals are recommended to achieve his endless sustain into the JCM800, the amp preamp gain is kept clean at 2 per double-gain prevention rules. Marshall presence and treble are restrained to 3 and 4 to eliminate single-coil glassiness and mimic Latimer's smooth, vocal mid-range.
