The Marshall MG30GFX OD-2 channel provides the saturated JMP-1-style modern crunch needed for Stephen Carpenter's wall-of-sound riff. Scooping the mids to 4 re-creates the JMP-1 EQ curve while bumping bass to 7 gives the 10-inch speaker extra low-end heft in Drop Db tuning. Clean verse: switch to the Clean channel and roll your guitar volume back to 7.
