The original Meliora tone relies on thick British mid-range from cranked Marshall and Orange heads rather than modern American scooped fizz. On the Peavey 6505+, keep the Lead Pre-Gain disciplined around 6 to prevent excess compression, push the mids to 7, and set the Resonance control to 7 to replicate the Orange low-end cab thump. Rolling your Les Paul bridge tone knob back to 8 rounds off the upper bite to match the darker, doom-laden Swedish voicing. Clean interlude: switch to the Rhythm channel with Crunch button disengaged.
