Why these settings

The studio lead uses thick humbucker saturation into a high-end Bogner tube rig; to match this on your Crate GX-15R's solid-state circuit, engage the drive channel with gain set to 7 to achieve singing sustain without fizzy decay. Push the Crate's mid control to 7 to compensate for the naturally brighter, thinner character of small practice speakers, and tame bass to 5 to prevent the 8-inch driver from muddying up during fast lead runs. Keep the bridge humbucker on your Condor RX20S wide open for maximum output and bite.

PRO TIPDig in with a heavy pick angle slightly closer to the bridge for artificial pinch harmonics during the solo, and rest your palm gently on the lower strings to tighten up rapid alternate picking passages.
