Why these settings

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.

PRO TIPDig in hard with your pick on the downstrokes — the original tone's attack and attitude comes from Noel's aggressive picking dynamics, not from cranked gain. Roll your tone knob to 8 to tame the MG's solid-state high-end harshness while keeping the cut.
