Why these settings

The Fender Frontman 15G lacks a dedicated midrange control, presence, and onboard reverb, so treble is rolled down to 4 to round off single-coil brightness and simulate Marshall mid-thickness through the 8-inch speaker. The built-in Drive channel at gain 7 provides the necessary sustain without a pedal. Rolling the Strat's neck tone knob to 5 emulates Slash's famous 'woman tone' on his Alnico II neck humbucker.

PRO TIPSlash's vocal lead tone depends entirely on rolling the neck pickup tone knob down to around 5 while picking hard over the neck pickup area with a heavy pick (1.14mm Dunlop Tortex purple) to get maximum low-mid punch without high-end harshness.
