Set mode switch to position 2 (mid-scooped distortion) for Rectifier-style scoop. This is your primary gain source - amp stays clean.
The Frontman 10G cannot produce high-gain distortion - its single preamp stage stays clean even at max. Your SF300 on mode 2 delivers the scooped Rectifier-style saturation this tone needs. Amp gain at 3 keeps it as a clean platform; treble at 6 compensates for the SF300's darker voicing vs a real Recto. Bass at 4 prevents the small 6-inch speaker from farting out on palm mutes.
