01Noise Gate Block (NG)
Essential for Gojira's ultra-tight staccato picking and silence between chugs
02TS9 / Tube Drive Block (EFX)
Used as a clean overdrive boost to tighten low-end before high-gain amp stage
The NUX MG-300's high-gain amp models saturate quickly, so keeping amp gain around 7 paired with an onboard TS-style boost pedal gives the authentic 5150 percussive attack without muddying the low end. Your SG Modern's humbuckers provide the exact high-output punch needed, tuned down to Gojira's D Standard tuning. Keep the reverb completely off to preserve the dry, punchy studio rhythm sound.
