Why these settings

The TSN Rockstar 15 is an entry-level practice amp with a standard Bass/Treble EQ and Drive switch, so Mid and Presence are set to null. Ted's sound came from cranked vintage tube combos pushed into natural, fat breakup; to replicate that snarl without pedals, engage the amp's drive channel at moderate gain (around 6) so chords bite without getting overly fizzy. On your Cort G110, use the bridge humbucker with the tone knob rolled off slightly to 8 to shave off excessive high-end spike and mimic the thick woody bark of a Gibson Byrdland.

PRO TIPTed's signature attack relies on picking heavily near the bridge with aggressive downstrokes, then lightly letting the palm touch the lower strings between stabs to control natural hollowbody-style harmonic sustain.
