Why these settings

The Coolmusic TS-112 is a transparent, full-range solid-state acoustic/busking amp, so the Joyo Ultimate Drive serves as the sole gain source on low gain to replicate the Bassman's edge-of-breakup. Treble is dialed back on both the amp and guitar tone knob to soften modern ceramic pickup harshness and recreate the warm sustain of Lucy's vintage PAF humbuckers. A dedicated rotary or chorus pedal is recommended to capture George Harrison's iconic Leslie 122 speaker modulation.

PRO TIPPick smoothly near the neck with medium attack and use finger vibrato on sustained notes; rolling the guitar tone back to 7 rounds the attack into the vocal-like, horn-esque lead timbre.
