Why these settings

The Davis GM-215 is an entry-level solid-state practice amp with basic 3-band EQ and no presence control, so presence is nulled. To emulate Ray Toro's hot-rodded Marshall crunch without external overdrive pedals, push the mid and treble to 7 for sharp pick definition while keeping bass at 5 to prevent the small speaker cabinet from muddying during fast alternate picking. Your Gibson Les Paul Modern's bridge humbucker matches the output and punch of Toro's original Les Paul setup perfectly.

PRO TIPPick right over the bridge pickup with a heavy, rigid plectrum using strict alternate picking to give the intro arpeggio its iconic punch and tight string definition.
