Wehikuł Czasu / To byłby cud amp settings — Harlet benton Dnafx amp20

The Dżem guitar tone for “Wehikuł Czasu / To byłby cud”, dialed in for a Harlet benton Dnafx amp20 with a Harley benton Hwy 25 bks. Studio version, album 'Cegła' (1985) — the iconic ballad/blues-rock arrangement

Original rig

Gibson Les Paul Standard (humbuckers) → Marshall JCM800 (crunch channel, moderate gain) — no heavy pedals, clean bluesy overdrive with Hammond organ filling the mix

Warm, mid-forward blues crunch with singing sustain — not high-gain, not scooped; organic tube breakup with Les Paul thickness

RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. A basic TS9 clone (Joyo Vintage OD, Behringer TO800, Harley Benton Tube Screamer clone) would add the warm mid-push and singing sustain this tone needs. Without it, the DNAFX modeling alone gets you 70% there.

Why these settings

Your Harley Benton HWY 25 has dual humbuckers — close to a Les Paul voicing, so no major compensation needed. The DNAFX GIT20 is a modeling unit; select the Marshall/JCM800/British Crunch amp model. Mid pushed to 7 compensates for the original's tube-amp mid saturation. Presence is null — the DNAFX may not have this control; if it does, set to 4. Gain at 5 gives bluesy breakup without metal saturation. Otręba's tone breathes — it's not compressed or heavily distorted.

PRO TIPRoll your guitar's volume knob to 7-8 for the clean verses, then push to 10 for the emotional climax sections — Otręba used pickup/volume dynamics rather than pedal switching. Let notes ring and decay naturally; this tone is about sustain and space, not aggression.
