Why these settings

Leave the external Behringer UM300 bypassed; Mick Mars' tone is classic British hot-rodded Marshall crunch, not extreme scooped metal distortion. The GE100's JCM800 model pushed with a subtle internal overdrive boost delivers the exact mid-focused bark and harmonic saturation of the track. Setting the internal chorus block to low depth and rate replicates the subtle rack doubling Mars used during the Sunset Strip era.

PRO TIPMick Mars tuned his guitar down a full step to D standard (D-G-C-F-A-D) for this track—drop your Jackson down a whole step and dig hard with the pick edge on the palm-muted low notes to nail the greasy bounce.
