Why these settings

The Hot Rod DeVille has a naturally scooped, high-headroom Fender preamp, so mid is boosted to 7 to replicate the chimey British Vox/Matchless midrange on the recording. The DeVille Drive channel at gain 4 delivers a controlled edge-of-breakup grit for your Les Paul humbuckers without turning muddy. Treble and presence are pulled back slightly to keep the Les Paul bridge pickup smooth through the DeVille's aggressive 6kHz top end. Clean verse: drop guitar volume knob to 6 or switch DeVille back to Clean channel.

PRO TIPPick with firm, percussive downstrokes near the bridge saddles on the intro hook to replicate the sharp attack that triggers worship delays and octave effects cleanly.
