The Clifton GA-15 is an entry-level analog solid-state practice amp with a 3-band EQ and no presence or built-in reverb, so those controls are null. On your single-coil Telecaster, roll the tone knob down to 8 and keep treble at 5 to avoid piercing high frequencies through the 6.5-inch speaker. Push the amp's Drive channel gain to 6 for honest hard rock saturation without turning completely fizzy.
