Why these settings

The original solo tracked with a vintage Strat pushed hard through console preamps and Hiwatts, giving a cutting, slightly spiky single-coil bite. On your humbucker-equipped PRS Custom 24, setting the Blackstar's ISF around 7 and engaging the TS808 with low drive and high level pushes the Super Crunch voice without becoming muddy. The ID:Core has no physical presence knob, so treble is lifted to 7 and tone on the guitar stays at 8 to preserve that iconic percussive snap.

PRO TIPLindsey Buckingham played the solo exclusively with his bare fingers instead of a pick—use your thumb and index finger with an aggressive upward snap to get the immediate, transient-heavy attack heard on the record.
