Why these settings

The Marshall MG30CFX's OD2 channel replicates the saturated, biting texture of Carpenter's rack-mounted JMP-1 preamp. Keep the mids around 6 rather than scooping them to retain the aggressive pick cut through the solid-state power section. Tune down to Drop Db (Db-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb) so the Jackson Dinky matches the heavy tension and low-end resonance of the track. Clean verse: switch amp channel to Clean with guitar volume at 8.

PRO TIPHit the Drop Db low power chords with a heavy, deliberate downstroke close to the bridge to maximize pick attack and keep the low-end thud tight and percussive.
