01Gate / Noise Gate Block
Set clamp aggressively for staccato stop-start breakdowns
02TS9 / Screamer Drive Block
Clean boost in front of amp model to tighten low-end flub
The MG-300's high-gain models naturally capture the 5150 saturation, while the Screamer block tightens the bass before hitting the preamp. Because your Gibson SG Modern has passive humbuckers with slightly more open dynamics than the original active EMGs, the Screamer level is pushed to 9 to hit the front end with equivalent punch. Keep the noise gate fast and tight to replicate the iconic machine-gun palm mutes.
