The RockJam RJ10WAR2 10W practice amp uses a 5-inch speaker that produces harsh top end and limited low-end thump compared to Brad Delson's Mesa Dual Rectifier 4x12 rig. Engage the amp's built-in Overdrive channel with gain at 7 to capture the heavy chorus crunch without pushing the tiny speaker into muddy fart-out. Back your Strat's bridge tone knob down slightly to 8 to tame the single-coil brightness to better match a humbucker response. Verse texture: switch amp Drive switch off and select the neck pickup.
