Why these settings

The Lyxpro AGL-30 is a straightforward analog practice amp without built-in reverb or presence controls, so keep it set to the clean channel with low gain for maximum headroom. Because a Les Paul has thicker humbuckers compared to Buckley's bright Telecaster, push the treble to 7 and use both pickups combined to achieve proper upper-mid chime. For the heavy distorted climax late in the song: press the amp's Drive button and raise gain.

PRO TIPBuckley picked dynamic arpeggios near the bridge using a medium-thin pick to maximize top-end articulation while letting the notes ring out into long ambient decay.
