T.N.T. amp settings — Roland Cube 40GX
The AC/DC guitar tone for “T.N.T.”, dialed in for a Roland Cube 40GX with a Yamaha SVG-300. Studio version, T.N.T. (1975) / High Voltage (1976)
1970/1971 Gibson SG Standard into cranked Marshall 1959 Super Lead 100W Plexi (no pedals)
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 6 |
| Bass | 5 |
| Mid | 7 |
| Treble | 6 |
| Reverb | 0 |
| Master | 6 |
The Yamaha SVG-300 has bright single-coil pickups, so mid is boosted to 7 and treble held at 6 to replicate the thicker midrange bite of Angus Young's SG humbuckers without getting shrill. The Cube 40GX's Classic Stack/Brit Combo COSM amp models capture the cranked Marshall Plexi response, while presence is set to null because the 40GX faceplate lacks a presence control. Reverb is set to 0 because the original track is completely dry.
