Because you are playing the authentic Buckethead signature Les Paul directly into the NUX MG-101 modeler, you already have the exact high-output ceramic pickup response. We push the Friedman/SLO high-gain amp model and stack an internal Tube Screamer block as a clean boost (Drive low, Level high) to achieve Buckethead's razor-sharp transient attack without mud. Keep the digital delay dialed back to around 350-400ms with low feedback to maintain articulation on fast staccato picking.
