02Analog Blues Overdrive (TS9 / Blues Driver)

The Aspire GA-30 is a compact solid-state practice amp with standard 3-band EQ, no presence control, and no built-in reverb. To capture the track's mellow, vintage blues character without single-coil spikiness, keep treble centered at 5, push mids and bass slightly, and keep the amp on the clean channel. When playing the loud chorus, dig into the strings to induce natural solid-state breakup or roll the guitar volume to 10.
