Why these settings

The Frontman 10G has only Bass and Treble controls with no dedicated Mid, Presence, or built-in Reverb, so those parameters are omitted. Bass is bumped to 6 to compensate for the 6-inch speaker and single-coil Strat thinness, while Treble is pulled back to 5 to tame harsh solid-state bite. Rolling the Strat's tone knob down to 7 warms up the clean channel to emulate the darker Japanese vintage single-coil voicing of Mac's Teisco.

PRO TIPPick lightly with the flesh of your thumb or a thin, flexible pick right near the base of the neck to emulate Mac's warm, rounded attack.
