Why these settings

The 80S ROCK model captures the hot-rodded JCM800 character of Warren DeMartini's modded Marshall. The Epiphone Les Paul humbuckers match the output of the original Duncan JB well, but the low end needs to remain at 5 to avoid flub in drop-D. Boosting mids to 7 in the display menu emulates the upper-mid push of the Furman PQ-3 preamp EQ used on the record.

PRO TIPDeMartini played the main riff in drop-D with an aggressive, downward pick attack right next to the bridge saddles to emphasize the metallic chirp and harmonics.
