01High-Gain Distortion Pedal (e.g., Boss MT-2, MXR Fullbore Metal, or TC Electronic Dark Matter)
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. The Marshall MG10R cannot produce Bogner Uberschall-level saturation. A metal-voiced distortion pedal is essential. Run the amp on its cleanest setting when using this pedal.
The Marshall MG10R is a 10-watt solid-state practice amp with limited gain and no presence control—it cannot physically reach Uberschall saturation levels. The original tone requires cascaded high-gain stages that this amp lacks entirely. I've set amp gain to 3 (near-clean platform) because the RECOMMENDED distortion pedal must be the gain source; stacking amp overdrive with a dirt pedal creates mud. Mid pushed to 6 compensates for the Yamaha's ceramic humbuckers being darker than Invaders, and treble at 7 recovers the attack lost through a small speaker.
