RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; tightens the low-end thump and adds 90s post-grunge grit
The MG30GFX uses the OD-1 channel to deliver the core saturation of Dave Grohl's Dual Rectifier. Keep mids around 5 to preserve the Marshall's inherent midrange bite while slightly scooping to emulate the Mesa low-mid profile. If you acquire a Rat pedal later, switch the amp to the Clean channel and set amp gain to 2. Clean verse: roll guitar volume back to 4-5 to clean up the signal.
