Why these settings

The Laney LX35R is British-voiced and warmer than the original's Fender clean, so treble stays moderate rather than high. Gain at 2 keeps it pristine. The LX35R has no presence control—use the built-in reverb cranked to 7 to approximate the wet, shimmery Hall of Fame sound. Mid at 6 preserves the articulate single-note clarity.

PRO TIPRoll your tone knob to 7 on the neck pickup to soften the Cort's ceramic single-coils—this gets closer to the smooth, slightly rolled-off vintage Strat character of the original recording.
