Why these settings

The Peavey 5150 Rhythm channel with Crunch engaged provides the necessary classic British bite while avoiding the hyper-compressed modern saturation of the Lead channel. To compensate for the Telecaster single-coils against Noel's P-90 Les Paul Goldtop, the Tele's tone knob is rolled back slightly and mids are boosted to 7 to thicken the fundamental body. Resonance on the 5150 should be set around 6 to recreate the low-end weight of the Valvestate stack.

PRO TIPUse the Telecaster's middle position (both pickups) with aggressive, wide-stroke strumming near the neck pickup to capture the full, resonant wall-of-sound rhythm signature of Definitely Maybe.
