Trying to nail that iconic tone from Dokken’s "In My Dreams" solo on your Spark amp? You’re not alone—every guitar aficionado has chased that dragon at some point. George Lynch’s legendary solo is like the Holy Grail of guitar tones, but with the right settings and a little bit of patience, you can get pretty darn close. Let’s dive into the nitty-gritty.

First up, we need to simulate that iconic amp sound. Set your Spark amp to the "Plexi" simulation. Think of this as your foundational cheese on a pizza; everything else builds on top of it.

Next, kick in the **Noise Gate**. It’s like having a bouncer at your gig, kicking out the unwanted noise and keeping your tone clean and mean.

Now, onto the **Compressor**. Use the "LA Comp" and dial in the Gain to 5 and Peak Reduction to 4. This is your secret sauce—it smooths out your sound and makes those solos pop like fresh bubble wrap.

For the **Drive section**, grab the "Distortion" pedal and set:

- Drive: 7

- Tone: 5

- Level: 6

This will give you that gritty, crunchy sound that Lynch fans drool over. Imagine your tone as a fine wine—this is the barrel-aging that gives it character.

When it comes to **Modulation/EQ**, a slight chorus effect can work wonders. Set Depth to 4 and Rate to 3. This adds a bit of shimmer and movement, like the sparkle in Lynch’s eye when he nails those high notes.

Alright, let’s talk **Delay**. We’re going with the "Digital Delay" and setting:

- Level: 5

- Feedback: 4

- D Time: 450ms

- Tone: 5

Think of this as the echo in a grand hall—every note you play bounces back with a little extra oomph.

Finally, no epic solo is complete without some **Reverb**. Choose "Hall Medium" and set:

- Level: 6

- Damping: 5

- Low cut: 100Hz

- High cut: 8kHz

- Time: 2.5s

- Dwell: 5

This makes your playing sound like it’s coming from a cathedral of rock. It’s the icing on the cake, the cherry on top, the… well, you get the idea.

To save this tone:

1. Fire up the Spark app and connect to your amp.

2. Double-tap on the amp icon and scroll to "Plexi."

3. Double-tap on the Modulation pedal, then select your desired modulation effect.

4. Repeat this for the other effects.

5. Save the preset with a name that’ll make you grin every time you see it.

Feel free to tweak these settings according to your guitar’s quirks and your playing style. Remember, George Lynch didn’t become a legend by blindly following presets—he experimented. So should you.
