The Watson XL15R is a compact solid-state practice amp with a standard 3-band EQ, gain, and spring reverb (no presence control). To match the cranked Marshall crunch on the recording without external dirt pedals, engage the amp's overdrive channel with Gain pushed to 7 while keeping Bass moderate at 5 to prevent the small speaker from flubbing out. Push the Middle knob to 7 and Treble to 6 to emulate the biting upper-mid harmonics of the bridge humbucker on your Yamaha ERG 121. Clean intro/verse: roll the guitar's volume knob down to 5-6 to clean up the signal.
