01Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor
Set in front or send/return loop to choke high-gain hiss
02Boss OS-2 OverDrive/Distortion
Used strictly as a tight mid-boost in front of OD-2 to simulate Kirk's front-end boost
03MXR 6-band EQ
Direct in front or FX loop; scoops the 400Hz-800Hz boxiness while pushing sub-lows and upper-mid bite
The MG30FX's OD-2 channel acts as the primary gain engine, pushed hard to mirror the raw clipping of Kirk's solid-state Randall. The Boss OS-2 is set with minimal Drive and elevated Level to act purely as a front-end tightening boost rather than an independent dirt stage. The MXR 6-band EQ carves out the mid-range boxiness around 400Hz–800Hz while pumping 100Hz to replicate the colossal cab resonance of B-standard tuning. Note that the Marshall MG30FX faceplate lacks a presence control.
