The end amp settings — Marshall Mg10cd
The My chemical romance guitar tone for “The end”, dialed in for a Marshall Mg10cd with a Easstcoast Gs1. Studio version, The Black Parade (2006)
Gibson Les Paul Standard into Marshall JCM800 2203 / JMP heads, Big Muff Pi for wall-of-sound sections. Ray Toro's main rhythm tone; half-step down tuning (Eb).
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 7 |
| Bass | 4 |
| Treble | 6 |
| Master | 5 |
The MG10CD has only Gain, Bass, Treble, and Volume — no mid or presence knobs, so those are null. The original JCM800 is mid-forward; the MG10CD's OD channel is scooped by comparison, so I dropped bass from 5 to 4 to keep low-end tight on the small speaker and set treble at 6 for bite without fizz. Gain 7 is near the MG's saturation ceiling — it won't reach full JCM800 chunk, but it's the closest this amp gets.
