Why these settings

The Fender Champion 20 lacks a dedicated mid knob and physical presence control, so the British crunch voice is used to supply the mid-focused grit that Albert Hammond Jr. achieves with his Jekyll & Hyde pedal into a 2x12 tube amp. Bass is dialed back to 4 to prevent the small 8-inch speaker from muddying up the rapid downstroke rhythm. Single-coil middle position provides the signature percussive snap while smoothing out the high-end bite.

PRO TIPHit the strings with strictly alternate-free, aggressive downstrokes close to the bridge to capture the signature tight, mechanical drive of the track.
