Why these settings

The TG-15 is a basic solid-state practice amp with a 3-band EQ, so we set Gain to 3 on the clean channel for pure headroom without harsh solid-state clipping. Treble is pushed to 7 to recreate the Blackface/Two-Rock chime while Bass at 7 adds low-end bloom to compensate for the compact speaker. If you add a transparent OD pedal later, set it as a slight volume boost to push the front end dynamically.

PRO TIPPluck with the pads of your bare thumb and index finger rather than a pick to get the soft, blooming transient attack characteristic of Mayer's right-hand technique.
