For this lesson with its country-rock backing, I adopted a much cleaner approach using a Fender Stratocaster through Zendrive and Marshall ED-1 Compressor pedals, into a clean Fender Blues Deluxe combo. Use the above settings as a guide, perhaps backing off the guitar’s volume to clean things up, and adding a dash of country-style slap-back echo.
