Why these settings

The original tone is a 5-watt Fender Tweed Champ driven to full power-tube saturation by a vintage Strat. On your solid-state Harley Benton HB-10G, engage the Overdrive channel with gain at 6 to simulate the cranked Champ breakup, pushing the mid control to 7 to replicate the warm, focused tweed midrange while rolling bass back to 4 to prevent the 6-inch practice speaker from farting out. The HB-10G faceplate features Gain, Overdrive Select, Master Volume, Bass, Middle, and Treble knobs (no presence or reverb controls).

PRO TIPDig in hard with a heavy pick near the bridge to get that sharp, percussive attack Clapton used on the opening signature lick.
