Why these settings

Because the Mavies GA-25 is an entry-level analog practice amp without onboard digital effects, engage the built-in Drive channel with gain at 6 to generate the necessary singing sustain natively. Keep treble balanced at 5 and roll your Stratocaster's neck tone knob to 8 to avoid ice-pick highs while preserving the fluid, vocal midrange heard on the record. Adding an external Boss BD-2 Blues Driver down the line allows you to run the amp clean for an even closer dynamic response.

PRO TIPPick with the meat of your thumb or a rounded pick edge when executing the melodic bends to mimic Zild and Blaster's smooth, vocal-like attack without harsh transients.
