Why these settings

The MG30CFX OD1 channel approximates the Marshall preamp grind of the original JMP-1. Mids scooped to 3 replicates Carpenter's signature nu-metal scoop. Your SG humbuckers are hotter than his JB-era ESPs, so gain stays at 8 rather than pushing higher. The MG30CFX has no presence or reverb knobs—the FX section handles reverb but the original is bone dry anyway.

PRO TIPTune to Drop C# (C#-G#-C#-F#-A#-D#) and palm-mute tight against the bridge saddles—the percussive chunk of this riff comes from muting precision, not extra gain.
