RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. Essential for the sustained, singing lead quality. Without this, the tone will lack the compression and harmonic richness of the original.

Why these settings

The Cort CM15R is a basic solid-state practice amp with limited headroom and a brighter, thinner voicing than a JCM800. I pushed mids to 7 to compensate for the amp's naturally scooped response and kept treble conservative at 5 to avoid fizz. Without a drive pedal, you will not achieve the original's singing sustain—the DS-1 is doing heavy lifting on the record. Gain at 6 is the CM15R's sweet spot for usable saturation without harsh breakup.

PRO TIPRoll your tone knob to 7 on the neck pickup and use slow, wide vibrato on sustained notes—Schenker's vibrato is the soul of this solo. Pick closer to the neck for a rounder attack.
