Why these settings

The Frontman 10G lacks a physical mid knob and uses a bright 6-inch speaker, so treble is rolled back to 4 while bass is pushed to 6 to emulate Gary Moore's thick JTM45 low-end warmth. Because you own no pedals, the amp's built-in OD channel provides the core singing sustain, though it will be fizzier and smaller than the Guv'nor into a 4x12 cab. If you add the recommended Marshall Guv'nor pedal later, disengage the amp's OD switch, set amp gain to 2, and use the pedal as your sole dirt source.

PRO TIPGary Moore's signature singing sustain on the neck pickup relies on rolling the guitar tone knob down to around 6; this tames Strat single-coil glassiness and yields the vocal 'woman tone' midrange essential for 'One Day'.
