Why these settings

The Blackstar Stereo 10 lacks a dedicated mid knob, so treble is pushed to 7 to capture Mutlugil's bright Telecaster attack — the ISF control should be set fully counter-clockwise (American/Fender-like voicing) to approximate the Peavey Classic's clean headroom and treble sparkle. Your Donner DMT-100's humbuckers are darker and hotter than a vintage Tele single-coil, so bass is dropped to 3 and a TS-style pedal is critical to restore the mid-forward bite and string clarity that defines this tone.

PRO TIPMutlugil's tone relies heavily on pick attack near the bridge and letting the Telecaster's natural twang cut through — on your humbucker guitar, use the bridge pickup exclusively, pick closer to the bridge with medium-hard attack, and consider rolling your guitar's tone knob to 7-8 if the highs get harsh; his signature sound comes from dynamics, not heavy gain.
