Because you are playing a single-coil Stratocaster rather than Slash's thick Alnico II humbucker Les Paul, the amp treble is dialed down to 4 and bass raised to 6 to add necessary body. Rolling the Strat neck pickup tone knob down to 6 rounds off the glassy single-coil bite and mimics the iconic vocal woman-tone honk. The Tank-G Marshall-style amp model provides the liquid preamp sustain without needing an extra drive block in front. Fast end solo run: switch pickup selector to bridge and open guitar tone to 10.
