The Catalyst's Crunch channel delivers Marshall JCM800-style voicing which matches the mid-forward blues-rock character of this track. Your Epiphone SG's humbuckers are ideal here — the neck pickup rolled to tone 7 softens the top end for that singing, vocal-like quality. Gain at 4 keeps it touch-sensitive: dig in for breakup, back off for clean.
