Why these settings

The Glarry GA-20 lacks a dedicated midrange control, presence, and onboard reverb, so mid and presence are set to null while treble is dialed back to 4 to tame the small 8-inch speaker's inherent brightness. Single-coil pickups on the Glarry GST lack the output and thickness of Slash's Alnico II humbuckers, so gain is pushed to 7 on the drive channel and the guitar's tone control is rolled down to 7 for a warmer, vocal-like neck pickup sweep. If you add the recommended overdrive pedal later, switch the amp to the clean channel with gain at 2. Outro fast solo: switch to the bridge pickup with tone wide open at 10.

PRO TIPSlash achieves his signature liquid sustain by using the neck pickup with the tone rolled off slightly, picking with heavy attack near the neck rather than the bridge to emphasize the fluty fundamental harmonic.
