Why these settings

Your Les Paul's humbuckers are hotter than the original recording's likely single-coil or lower-output setup, so gain is set at 6 instead of 7-8. The ME-80's OD-1 or OD-2 amp models nail the JCM800 midrange bark this song needs. Tone knob rolled to 7 tames the Les Paul's natural brightness to match the warmer Filipino rock production style.

PRO TIPTune down to Eb (half-step down) as indicated in the tabs—this is essential for the song's character and lets you play along with the recording. For the sliding power chord lead parts in the intro/bridge, use your neck pickup momentarily and dig in with your pick closer to the bridge for that cutting articulation.
