Why these settings

Andra Ramadhan's solo tone on Kangen relies on a classic early-90s modded Marshall JCM800 voice pushed by an overdrive for effortless sustain. On your NUX MG-300, the BRIT 800 block dialed with mid-focused EQ and pushed by the T SCREAMER as a level boost delivers the exact singing lead response. The Donner DST-152's bridge humbucker supplies the necessary output and punch without getting shrill once the tone knob is rolled back slightly. For the arpeggiated clean intro and verses, switch the amp block to JAZZ CLEAN or DELUXE RVB with the T SCREAMER bypassed and the chorus engaged.

PRO TIPPick smoothly near the neck joint rather than close to the bridge when tracking the solo; this rounds off the pick transient and yields that buttery, violin-like sustain heard on the original Dewa recording.
