01Chorus (Onboard FX)
Use onboard Chorus setting on the MG30GFX FX knob
02Fuzz Face / Big Muff
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; with pedal, switch amp to Clean channel and gain to 2
The original uses a warm fuzz into a flat keyboard amp; to capture that woolly low-fi texture on the Marshall without pedals, use the OD1 channel with treble rolled back to tame the Marshall bite. Rolling the Ibanez neck humbucker's tone knob down to 7 trims high-end snap to mimic the dark, rounded neck single-coil of the Jaguar. Engage the MG30GFX onboard chorus subtly around 9 o'clock on the FX knob to provide the dreamy modulation.
