Why these settings

The IMG Stage Line GA-1240R is a solid-state practice/rehearsal combo that lacks the natural tube compression of Noel's cranked Marshall/Vox setup. Setting the overdrive channel gain to 6 gives enough crunch without turning fizzy, while pushing midrange to 7 and treble to 7 replicates the classic Sawmills/Loco studio British bite on your Les Paul.

PRO TIPDig in hard with a heavy pick near the bridge for the intro chords, and use wide, slow finger vibrato on the solo bends rather than fast wrist shake to match Noel's phrasing.
