The WEM Dominator is a low-wattage valve amp with pronounced mids and natural compression when cranked. Your MG30CFX is solid-state with a tighter, less forgiving voicing — push mids to 7 to compensate for the MG's scooped tendency, and keep gain moderate (6) since the original tone is crunch, not high-gain. Bass at 4 prevents the solid-state low-end from getting flubby.
