Why these settings

The Davis GM-215 is an unrecognized small solid-state amp, so knob names may differ on your faceplate. The original JCM800 2210 is mid-forward with tight gain; your amp likely has looser low-end and less saturation. Mid is pushed to 7 to compensate for typical solid-state scoop. Gain at 7 reaches the edge of what small practice amps deliver cleanly—pushing higher causes fizz rather than smooth saturation. The Pulse Strat's single coils are brighter and lower output than the original Ibanez humbuckers, so treble is pulled to 6 and tone knob rolled to 7 to warm the attack.

PRO TIPFor the iconic clean intro, switch to neck pickup with tone knob at 5, engage chorus on your multi-FX, and use fingerpicking or very light pick attack—the original has a glassy, almost acoustic shimmer that comes from touch dynamics, not gain.
