The Marshall MG30CFX lacks a physical presence control, so presence is nulled. The OD-2 channel supplies the modern high-gain bite necessary for the fast thrash gallops. Keeping mids at 6 prevents the solid-state preamp from getting hollow and fizzy while treble at 7 matches the sharp 1990 Rumbo Recorders top end.
