Why these settings

The Marshall MG30FX Clean channel is punchy and mid-forward compared to Tremonti's glassy Fender Twin studio cleans, so setting bass and treble to 6 with flat mids balances out the classic Marshall midrange bite. The BurstBucker pickups in the Ghost Horse Explorer have high output, so rolling guitar volume to 9 preserves headroom and prevents the solid-state preamp from clipping. Note that the MG30FX has no dedicated presence control on its faceplate. Distorted heavy section: step on the Boss OS-2 (Color 7, Drive 8, Level 6) or switch the MG30FX to the OD-1 channel.

PRO TIPPick the intro arpeggios close to the fretboard rather than the bridge using a medium-stiff pick to achieve Tremonti's round, bell-like attack without percussive snap.
