Why these settings

The Kozmos Blaze 30 is an entry-level practice amp without verified mid, presence, or reverb controls, so tone shaping relies on balanced bass and treble controls alongside the amp's built-in drive. Gain is set to 7 to deliver the singing sustain of the original cranked Mesa Boogie Mark I without muddying the Ibanez GIO's ceramic neck humbucker. Rolling the guitar tone back to 7 smooths the sharper top end of the GRG170DX to emulate the warm, hollow neck-pickup bloom of the 'Greeny' Les Paul.

PRO TIPPosition yourself facing the amp at moderate-to-high volume and apply a wide, slow wrist vibrato on the sustained high notes to induce controlled acoustic feedback and infinite sustain just like Gary Moore did in the studio.
