At least that what's you said amp settings — Stage Right 15 W Guitar Combo

Original rig

Fender Twin Reverb / Vox AC30 + Klon Centaur stacked with fuzz, Fender Telecaster or Jazzmaster, controlled feedback at moderate volume

Why these settings

Your Stage Right 15W is a small tube-style practice amp with limited headroom — this actually helps replicate Tweedy's feedback sustain at lower volumes. Amp gain stays low (2) because your Klon + Rat stack provides all the dirt. The Kalamazoo KG1's single-coil is brighter and lower output than Tweedy's Tele/Jazzmaster, so I rolled tone knob to 6 and kept amp treble moderate (5) to prevent harshness. Push master volume to 7 to encourage natural compression and feedback interaction.

PRO TIPThe secret to this solo is STANDING CLOSE to your amp and letting notes bloom into controlled feedback — find the physical sweet spot (usually 2-3 feet away, angled toward the speaker) where sustained notes sing without squealing. Tweedy lets single notes hang and decay naturally before the next phrase.
