Why these settings

Two Rock amps are ultra-clean boutique Fender-style platforms with massive headroom; the Marshall MG30CFX's Clean channel is far less touch-sensitive and will add slight solid-state compression even at low gain. Gain is set to 1 (not 0) because the MG's Clean channel needs minimal preamp signal to wake up without breaking up. Mayer rolls his guitar volume to 8 and tone to 7 to soften the attack — critical on your humbucker-equipped Glarry, which has hotter output than his single-coil Strat. Without the Klon's transparent compression, dig in lighter with your pick to preserve dynamics.

PRO TIPMayer's entire tone lives in his right-hand attack and left-hand vibrato. Practice playing at half your normal pick force — the MG30CFX won't reward heavy digging like a tube amp. Roll your guitar volume down to 6-7 during verses for even cleaner passages, then push it back to 8 for choruses.
