Why these settings

The Mustang LT40S British 80s model emulates the JCM800's mid-forward voice well. Your Fender single-coil neck pickup is brighter and lower output than Slash's Les Paul humbucker, so I pushed mids +1 and kept treble moderate to compensate for the thinner fundamental. Gain at 7 reaches the smooth saturation of a pushed JCM800. The Dookie pedals are bypassed—this tone is amp-driven, not stacked gain.

PRO TIPRoll your guitar's tone knob to 7 and use your neck pickup for the iconic singing lead sound—the slightly rolled-off highs give that vocal quality on sustained bends. Pick closer to the neck for extra warmth on the long sustained notes.
