| Knob | Setting (0–10) |

01DigiTech Whammy WH-1 / Ricochet
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; set to +1 Octave up for intro/verse glitch
02Marshall ShredMaster (or high-gain distortion)
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned
The Kinsman KGX15R's built-in drive channel must provide the primary crunch since no external pedals are owned, so gain is pushed to 8 with mids pushed to 8 to emulate Greenwood's Marshall ShredMaster-into-Fender solid-state midrange bite. The Mustang's single-coil bridge pickup is naturally brighter and thinner than Jonny's high-output Lace Sensor Dually, so tone is pulled back to 8 and amp treble is kept moderate at 6 to prevent harshness. Clean intro/verse: disengage the amp Drive switch to return to the clean channel.
