Why these settings

The original relies on a high-headroom Mesa Dual Rectifier with humbuckers in Drop D, whereas the Stratocaster's bridge single-coil is naturally brighter and thinner. Gain is kept at 7 on the drive channel to maintain chord articulation without fizzy breakup, while the guitar tone knob is rolled back to 8 to tame the single-coil top end. The G-AMP 20 lacks a physical presence control, so high-frequency air is controlled entirely via the treble knob and tone control.

PRO TIPDrop the low E string to D and play the octave riff with aggressive, consistent downstrokes right next to the bridge saddles for maximum dynamic punch.
