Why these settings

The Fireman HBE model on the NUX MG-300 provides the necessary modern cascaded saturation; running the internal Tube Screamer block with zero drive and high level tightens the sub-bass for fast tracking. Because the Gibson SG Modern's Burstbucker Pro humbuckers have a slightly warmer low-mid profile than extended-range pickups, keep amp bass clamped at 4 and push midrange to 7 to maintain note articulation across complex chord extensions. For the acoustic/clean interlude, switch to a Jazz Clean block with bridge+neck pickups selected.

PRO TIPUse a stiff, pointed pick (1.5mm+) and pick slightly closer to the bridge with aggressive edge angling to maximize the percussive transient needed for Beyond Creation's signature staccato runs.
