Sweet home amp settings — Boss Gt-1

The Lynrd guitar tone for “Sweet home”, dialed in for a Boss Gt-1 with a Dean zelinsky LaVoce. Studio version, Second Helping (1974) — signature intro/main riff

The original riff was tracked by Ed King running a late-60s Stratocaster into an almost wide-open Fender Twin Reverb to squeeze out natural compression and bite. The Boss GT-1 'CLEAN TWIN' model replicates the circuitry cleanly, but because a real Twin has huge headroom, keeping preamp gain at 4 with a subtle compressor block provides the signature percussive 'cluck' without turning muddy. Since the Dean Zelinsky LaVoce uses humbuckers with higher output and thicker low-mids than King's vintage Strat, engage the coil-split if equipped, or drop bass to 5 and keep treble elevated to maintain single-coil definition. For the cranked guitar solo later in the song, roll your guitar volume all the way up to 10 and kick on the GT-1's internal OD/DS block set to 'T-Scream'.
