This Acoustic Solutions practice amplifier is an unrecognized generic solid-state unit with basic Bass and Treble controls, so Mid and Presence are set to null. Engage the drive channel with gain pushed to 7 to approximate the modded Marshall Plexi crunch using only the amp's onboard distortion. Engage the Clapton Strat's active mid-boost knob halfway up to fatten the single-coil bridge pickup so it punches closer to Billie Joe's slanted bridge humbucker.
