Why these settings

Running through the iRig 2 interface into AmpliTube, use a Marshall JTM45 model set to moderate breakup with a Guv'nor overdrive stomp model in front to deliver Moore's signature singing sustain. The neck humbucker on your Epiphone Les Paul provides the thick vocal fundamental, while pushing mids on both the pedal and amp prevents the low end from getting muddy. Rolling the guitar tone knob slightly back to 8 rounds off any digital high-end harshness.

PRO TIPGary Moore achieved his endless sustain on the neck pickup by standing in the sweet spot of the amplifier feedback loop and digging in with heavy vibrato; roll the guitar tone knob down to around 7-8 to take the bite off the top end without losing harmonic reach.
