Why these settings

The Rockit GA-10 is a basic practice amp with only gain, bass, and treble controls (no mid or presence knobs). Set the drive switch off with low gain to capture the fragile, dry lo-fi clean of the recording, pushing the treble to 7 to compensate for your SG's warmer humbuckers.

PRO TIPPick lightly with bare fingers rather than a hard plectrum near the bridge to recreate the intimate, slightly erratic dynamics and string snap of the original track.
