Hi

It is made by Vintage- a PG Lemon Drop but i have replaced the pickups with Bare Knuckle PG blues, POI caps, vintage 50's wiring, switch craft switch and socket , CTS pots and bone nut.

I feel like the pickup setup will do you more than any amp settings.
I know he had a Marshall with the Bluesbreakers and when he did start using Fenders with Fleetwood Mac they were more in the piggy back styled like silver face Showmans.
Those are pretty clean sounding.

With the Les Paul on my Blackface Super Reverb I do the Bloomfield thing. Dime the amp and turn the guitar down.

Everytime I see a photo of Peter Green he has a different amp behind him, unfortunately Peter is a true example, like Jeff Beck, of a tone being in the hands.

Your guitar set up will get you in the ballpark, but with any decent wound up clean guitar amp, your technique will benefit you more. I’ve seen a bunch of guys get Peter Green tone like tone from a bunch of different amps over the years.
