Why these settings

Your Nevada amp is unrecognized — values given for universal gain/bass/treble only; your faceplate may label them differently. The SF300 on mode 2 closely approximates Way's 90s Big Muff character. Amp gain stays low (2) because the fuzz provides all saturation; stacking would turn to mud. Neck pickup with tone rolled to 6 mimics the Jaguar's dark, wooly output.

PRO TIPRoll your guitar volume to 7-8 for the verses to clean up the fuzz slightly, then full 10 for choruses — Way uses this dynamic trick to make the 'small things sound big' without switching pedals.
