Why these settings

The Fender Champion 20 lacks a dedicated mid knob, so select the Tweed Deluxe voice to inherently inject the thick, mid-forward crunch of SRV's cranked Fender amps. Your Jackson humbuckers are significantly hotter and darker than vintage Strat single coils, so gain is dialed back to 6 and treble is boosted to 7 to retain articulation. Adding a TS-style overdrive in the future will provide the signature mid-bump and tight bass response of the original cut.

PRO TIPTune down a half step to Eb and strike the strings with heavy, aggressive pick attack using the round edge of a heavy gauge pick to replicate Stevie's explosive percussive snap.
