Why these settings

The Marshall MG30GFX Clean channel provides the necessary headroom, with gain set to 4 to catch a subtle edge-of-breakup response when digging into chords. The Squier Bullet Stratocaster single coils can get piercing, so treble is kept moderate at 6 while the guitar tone knob is pulled down to 8 to round out the glassy Hendrix top end. Presence is omitted as the MG30GFX faceplate does not feature a presence control.

PRO TIPPlay with your bare thumb and index fingers instead of a stiff pick to soften the attack and capture the round, fluid chord embellishments Hendrix used on the intro.
