The Yamaha GA15II lacks a presence knob and onboard reverb, so both are set to null. Because the original track leans into the chimey, mid-focused Vox AC30 breakup, using the Clean channel with GA15II gain pushed to 6 recreates that edge-of-breakup grit without getting harsh on a solid-state practice speaker. The middle single-coil position on your HSH Yamaha ERG 121 helps emulate the articulate, jangle character of the studio track.
