Why these settings

The Fender Twin Reverb has immense clean headroom and a naturally scooped, bright voice, unlike Clapton's cranked British Marshall stack. The TS9 is used as the primary gain stage to push thick midrange bark into the Twin while cutting top-end bite. Rolling the Strat's neck tone knob almost entirely down to 1–2 is essential to simulate Clapton's dark SG humbucker 'Woman Tone'.

PRO TIPRoll the neck tone knob down to 0, then edge it up just a hair until note articulation returns without introducing high-end sparkle; pick near the 12th fret for extra hollow vowel warmth.
