My Own Summer (Shove It) amp settings — Laney Mini stb superg

Why these settings

The Laney Mini-STB SuperG features only Gain, Tone, and Volume controls (mid, presence, and reverb are absent on the faceplate, so Tone is placed under Treble and Bass balances low-end rumble). Because this miniature 3-inch practice amp lacks the punch and saturation of Stephen Carpenter's rackmount Marshall JMP-1 into a 4x12, the onboard Drive switch must be engaged with Gain pushed to 8. A standalone overdrive or distortion pedal is recommended down the line to tighten the percussive palm-mutes. Clean intro/verse: switch off the Drive button on the amp and roll guitar volume to 7.

PRO TIPStephen Carpenter tunes to Drop C# (Db-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb); strike the open low strings hard with heavy downward pick attack right over the bridge pickup to reproduce that snappy, metallic percussive clack on the chugs.
