Why these settings

The MG15's Overdrive channel is already voiced Marshall-style, so this is a direct translation of the original JCM crunch voicing. Mids pushed to 7 to capture that aggressive Czech hard rock bark — Kabát's tone cuts through with midrange presence, not scooped metal. Bass at 4 keeps the Les Paul's natural low-end warmth from getting boomy through the smaller MG15 speaker. No reverb — the recording is dry and punchy.

PRO TIPDig in hard with your pick near the bridge for that aggressive attack Kabát uses on the main riff — the Les Paul's humbuckers will compress naturally and give you that tight, authoritative chunk without needing additional gain.
