The Fender Champion 50XL features a dedicated '80s British voice that emulates the JCM800 crunch used on Danger Days. Because your Stratocaster uses single-coil pickups compared to Ray Toro's and Frank Iero's humbuckers, mid is boosted to 7 and treble kept at 6 to add body without piercing highs. The Champion 50XL has no physical presence knob, so it is omitted.
