Why these settings

The Hertz DG-20W is a compact practice amp, so engage the built-in Drive channel and set Gain to 7 to achieve the driving rock rhythm and lead sustain. Keep Bass moderate at 5 to prevent the small speaker from flubbing out while pushing Middle and Treble to 6 to emulate Pragya Lama's British rock articulation. If you add a dedicated overdrive pedal later, switch the amp to Clean and use the pedal as your primary gain stage.

PRO TIPDig in with a stiff pick right near the bridge for rhythm chops to get that snappy rock attack, and use vibrato on sustained notes during the signature melodic fills.
