Why these settings

The MG30CFX lacks the power-tube sag of a cranked Plexi, so the touch-sensitivity won't fully replicate. OD1 channel at moderate gain (5) gets the breakup character without fizz. The MG series runs bright and scooped vs a Plexi's mid-forward voice — I kept mid at 6 to preserve the vocal quality Page got. No presence knob exists on the MG30CFX. Roll guitar volume to 7 for verses, push to 10 for the solo's extra bite.

PRO TIPPage's vibrato on this track is slow, wide, and comes from the wrist — not finger wiggle. Dig in with your pick for the solo's climax notes to push the amp into more compression, then back off dynamically for the verse licks. The tone lives in your hands more than the knobs here.
