Marshall JMP-1 MIDI Preamp (OD1/OD2 modes) into Marshall 9200 Power Amp, ESP Horizon 6-string in Drop C, passive bridge humbucker

The Line 6 Spider IV Metal Red amp model replicates high-gain Marshall/modern tube saturation; keeping gain at 6 prevents the solid-state digital preamp from getting fizzy while preserving Stephen Carpenter's heavy crunch. The Boss SD-1 is bypassed because the Metal Red model provides all necessary saturation and stacking it would cause unwanted mud. Midrange is pushed to 7 to retain punch and clarity in down-tuning on the Kramer's bridge humbucker.
