Why these settings

The original rhythm tracks were played on humbuckers pushing a cranked vintage Marshall head for a crisp, compressed crunch. On your single-coil Strat and compact Ibanez IBZ15GR practice amp, the gain is set to 6 on the drive channel to provide enough saturation without introducing muddy fizz. Treble and mids are pushed to give your Strat's bridge pickup the bite and punch needed to replicate the track's iconic 16th-note disco-rock strumming.

PRO TIPUse precise palm-muting right against the bridge saddles while picking tight 16th-note patterns to nail that bouncy, disco-driven funk-rock rhythm.
