Why these settings

The Laney Ironheart IRT60H has a modern, tight British high-gain voicing, so use the Clean channel pushed to gain 4 to achieve that touch-sensitive edge-of-breakup response without slipping into fizzy pre-amp crunch. The Big Dipper scooped pickups on the John Mayer Strat naturally lack some mids, so boost the amp's Middle control to 6 while rolling tone back to 7 to retain warmth and prevent the top end from biting. Note: Laney IRT heads feature a global Dynamics knob on the master section—set it around 4 to keep the clean low end tight and articulate. For the soaring guitar solo later in the song, step on the Lead channel at gain 6 or engage the recommended overdrive pedal.

PRO TIPPick gently with the meat of your thumb or dynamic fingerpicking near the end of the fretboard rather than a hard pick attack to get Paras Thakur's intimate, singing round attack on the opening chords.
