RECOMMENDED — not owned
Stephen Carpenter’s extended-range tone relies on tight, high-gain saturation and sculpted mids. On your Marshall MG30GFX, select the modern OD-2 channel with gain at 7 to capture the heavy compression and bite, while pulling mids back slightly to 4 for that signature wall-of-sound chunk. Clean ambient verse: switch to the Clean channel with light built-in delay/reverb.
