RECOMMENDED — not currently owned
The CG-10X Street is a compact solid-state practice unit with a 3-band EQ and an Overdrive switch, lacking the physical presence control of a Mesa Dual Rectifier. To capture the Hybrid Theory rhythm tone, engage the amp's onboard OD switch with Gain at 8 and scoop the Mid control to 3 while keeping Treble crisp at 7. If you add a dedicated high-gain distortion pedal later, switch the amp to the clean channel, pull amp gain to 2, and use the pedal as your primary gain source.
