Hades in the Dead of Winter amp settings — NUX MG-300

The My Dead Girlfriend guitar tone for “Hades in the Dead of Winter”, dialed in for a NUX MG-300 with a Gibson SG Modern. Studio version, Hades (The Nine Stages of Change at the Deceased Remains) (2015) — Clean Arpeggio / Intro Tone

Because the SG Modern has higher-output humbuckers than the single-coils typical of Japanese shoegaze, the MG-300's Twin Reverb gain is held low at 3 to preserve absolute headroom. Treble is pushed to 7 on the modeler to counteract mahogany warmth, while using both pickups cleans up the low-end mud. Heavy modulation and post-delay reverb blocks on the MG-300 replicate the studio recording's wide spatial wash without needing external pedals. For the heavy wall-of-sound sections later in the track, engage the MG-300's onboard Muff / Distortion block.
