Why these settings

The Mooer GE 150 Pro Li relies on internal amp/cab modeling, so the Brit 800 model provides the punchy British bite Skynyrd tracked on Nuthin' Fancy. Your Strat's bridge humbucker supplies the necessary low-mid punch, so amp mids are pushed to 7 while bass is kept at neutral 5 to prevent mud. The onboard drive block runs low gain with high level to mirror a cranked tube input stage without adding modern distortion.

PRO TIPDig in with a heavy pick angle right near the bridge saddles on the opening muted rhythm riff to capture that distinctive snappy, percussive southern rock attack.
