RECOMMENDED — not currently owned (required only for the iconic repeating intro riff; run in FX loop)
The DSL20HR on the Ultra Gain channel provides plenty of modified-Marshall preamp saturation, so keep Gain at 6 to maintain string separation rather than over-compressing. Push Mids to 7 and Treble to 7 to replicate the Levi-modded Super Lead upper-mid bite through your Les Paul bridge pickup. Set the amp's Resonance to 5 for punchy low-end thump without getting flubby.
