The Roland Cube 30x Classic Stack model emulates a vintage Marshall JCM800. Setting the mids forward to 8 and keeping the treble at 7 replicates the aggressive upper-mid cut of Dave Murray and Adrian Smith's galloping riffs without fizz. On a single-coil Strat bridge, bass is bumped slightly to 5 to add low-end body where a high-output Super Distortion humbucker normally sits.
