Why these settings

Fogerty achieved his signature punchy attack using a high-wattage solid-state Kustom amp and single-coil/P-90 pickups. On the Champion II 100, select the '60s British voice on Channel 2 to emulate that raw, chimey breakup without modern low-end flub. Because the Ibanez Gio GRX70QA has higher-output ceramic humbuckers, drop the bass to 4 and push the mids and treble to recreate the sharp snap of Fogerty's Rickenbacker.

PRO TIPPick close to the bridge saddles with a stiff pick to maximize the percussive, snappy 'quack' characteristic of Fogerty's driving rhythm riff.
