Why these settings

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.

PRO TIPDig in hard near the bridge using a stiff pick; dynamic percussive palm muting between stabs is essential to getting the tight, snappy 1950s rock-and-roll groove of the main riff.
