RECOMMENDED — not currently owned
Because this amp model is unrecognized and you own no pedals, the amp's built-in drive channel is set to moderate gain (6) to supply the necessary overdrive directly. The original tone was direct-injected with a bright, crisp high-end, so treble is boosted to 7 and bass is kept lean at 4 to prevent mud on a small solid-state speaker. Adding a Blues Driver and a quick slapback analog delay down the road will get you the authentic DI fizz and spatial vibe.
