Why these settings

The Squier Sidekick PR-357 is a basic solid-state practice amp with Gain, Master, Bass, Mid, and Treble controls (no presence or onboard reverb). To capture the explosive distortion of Gilmour's Big Muff through Hiwatt without pedals, push the amp's Gain to 7 on the Lead channel while trimming Treble to 5 and Tone to 8 on the Gretsch to prevent harsh solid-state clipping. Clean intro/verse: press the Gain button OUT to return to clean, and roll guitar volume to 7.

PRO TIPGilmour hits the dramatic transition at 'Run to the bedroom' with aggressive pick attack right near the bridge, leaning heavily on wide, slow vibrato with the Bigsby to sustain notes through feedback.
