Why these settings

The Juarez JRamp500 is a compact solid-state practice amp with a 2-band EQ (no dedicated mid or presence controls), so mid and presence are set to null. Engage the drive button with gain at 6 to achieve Marshall-style crunch without pushing the small speaker into harsh solid-state clipping, and tame treble to 5 to avoid brightness. Rolling back your guitar's tone knob provides the signature vocal 'woman tone' character without needing a mid knob.

PRO TIPSwitch to your neck humbucker and roll your guitar tone control down to around 6–7 to cut the sharp attack and produce Slash's flute-like, singing intro timbre.
