RECOMMENDED — not currently owned (run in FX loop to match the 50s garage spring vibe)
The 5150 is a high-gain monster, so stay strictly on the Rhythm channel with the Crunch button engaged and Pre-Gain around 5 to nail that raw garage-blues breakup rather than modern saturation. The short-scale Fender Mini has low-output, bright single coils, so pull the bass to 4 to avoid mud and roll the guitar tone knob slightly back to tame the sharp high-end bite. Set the 5150's Resonance to 4 to keep the low-end punchy and tight for rockabilly riffing.
