| Knob | Setting (0–10) |

| Mid | 6 |
| Treble | 5 |
| Presence | 6 |
| Master | 8 |
01Tube Screamer (TS9 / Overdrive)
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned (boosts the Origin's vintage gain structure into tight modern metal saturation)
The Marshall Origin 20C is a single-channel, Plexi-voiced vintage amp with Tilt EQ rather than a cascaded modern high-gain preamp, so push Gain and Master high with Gain Boost engaged to squeeze maximum saturation out of the EL34 power section. Compensate for the Fender Player Strat's single-coil brightness by rolling the guitar tone down slightly and keeping Bass prominent (Tilt control set around 4-5 towards Normal for extra body). With a recommended TS-style overdrive pedal in front, you would drop Gain slightly while tightening the attack for the full recording aggression.
