Why these settings

Set up for your Marshall Code 50 — your Line 6 HX Effects isn't an amp, so it's used as a pedal here. The Marshall Code 50's JCM800 model provides the primary amp distortion, while the Klone acts strictly as a boost with low gain and high level to push saturation. Because the American Professional II Telecaster has single-coils that can bite sharply through digital Marshall models, the Tele tone knob is rolled back to 8 and amp treble is kept moderate at 6. The Line 6 HX Effects adds subtle ambient delay to give the live lead width and sustain.

PRO TIPDig in with a heavy pick angle right above the Tele bridge pickup to get snappy pinched overtones on melodic bends without thinning out the body of the notes.
