Why these settings

The MG30CFX's OD-1 channel delivers the tight British mid-forward drive heard on the studio track without getting excessively fizzy. Your Ibanez GIO bridge humbucker pushes the preamp cleanly; keeping the mids elevated at 7 cuts through the brisk tempo while keeping bass tight around 5 prevents solid-state muddiness. Presence is set to null because the MG30CFX panel features a 3-band EQ without a dedicated presence knob.

PRO TIPDig in with a heavy pick angle right near the bridge to maximize pick attack and percussive bite during the fast 16th-note rhythm figures.
