Why these settings

Your JCM900 High Gain channel delivers the Marshall bark Thomas Raggi gets from pushed Plexis with an OCD. Gain at 6 provides the crunchy saturation without mud—the JCM900 runs hotter than a Plexi so less gain is needed. Mid at 7 preserves the Strat's cut-through aggression. Presence at 7 adds the bite without ice-pick harshness on maple-fretboard single coils. Tone knob rolled to 7 tames the Bullet Strat's brightness while keeping definition.

PRO TIPDig in hard with your picking hand near the bridge—Raggi's percussive attack is half the tone. For the fuzzier lead sections, you'd need a fuzz pedal; without one, max your gain to 8 and roll the tone knob to 5 for a thicker approximation.
