The Lekato JA-05G is an ultra-compact mini amplifier featuring only Gain, Tone, and Volume/Effects controls without a three-band EQ, so bass, mid, treble, and presence are omitted. Selecting the OD channel mimics the high-gain British bite of Claudio and Travis's early Marshall/Mesa rigs. Because single-coil Stratocaster pickups are significantly brighter than the original humbuckers, rolling the guitar tone to 8 and keeping the unit's tone moderate prevents thin, harsh treble.
