Why these settings

The Peavey Rage 158 lacks an onboard reverb and has a flat solid-state clean channel with Volume, Low, Mid, and High controls (no Gain or Presence knobs on the clean side). Set the amp to the Clean channel with bass pulled back to keep the low-end tight and treble pushed to 7 to inject the chime of the original Telecaster. Use the middle pickup position on your high-output Jackson humbuckers to thin out the midrange and get closer to a snappy single-coil attack.

PRO TIPPick lightly with a rigid thin pick right next to the bridge saddles to maximize high-frequency cut and mimic the percussive, syncopated snap of a Tele bridge pickup.
