The HB-20G is a small 8-inch solid-state practice amp lacking presence and reverb controls, so both are set to null. To mimic Naoya Ogura's British JCM crunch without pedals, use the amp's Overdrive channel at gain 6 with boosted mids (7) and disciplined bass (5) so the small speaker does not fart out. Because the Aria CS-250 features dual humbuckers compared to Ogura's single-coil Strat, keep treble around 6 and split the coils if your model has the toggle switch for extra top-end cut. Clean intro/verse sections: roll your guitar volume down to 6-7 or toggle the amp's channel switch back to clean.
