No more tears amp settings — Marshall Mini Jubilee

The Ozzy osbourne guitar tone for “No more tears”, dialed in for a Marshall Mini Jubilee with a Charvel Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 1. Studio version, No More Tears album (1991)

Original rig

Marshall JCM800 2203 100W with 6550 tubes (Preamp 10, Master 4, Bass 10, Mid 5, Treble 9, Presence 3), Gibson Les Paul Custom with EMG 81/85 active pickups, Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive (Drive 6.5, Tone 5, Level 6.5), Boss CH-1 Super Chorus for stereo spread

Massive saturated crunch with scooped low-mids, extended bass response, tight attack, and cutting high-end aggression

Bypassed for main rhythm tone; engage for solo sections with Q in middle position for balanced sweep

Q 5 · Volume 5 · Range 7

Substitute for Boss SD-1; DS-1 is harsher so keep Tone at noon and Dist moderate to avoid fizz; this is your main gain source pushing a cleaner amp

Why these settings

Zakk used a cranked JCM800 with an SD-1 boost into EMG actives. Your Mini Jubilee has similar Marshall voicing but lower wattage and different gain structure. Keep amp gain at 4 (not maxed) because the DS-1 provides the saturation—stacking high amp gain with the DS-1 creates mud. Your Charvel's passive humbuckers are lower output than EMGs, so push bass +1 and DS-1 Level to 7 to compensate for the output difference. Presence stays low (3) as on the original to avoid ice-pick highs.

PRO TIPZakk used .060-.010 strings tuned down to C# standard—the heavier low strings add fundamental thump that lighter gauges can't replicate; if you're in standard tuning, consider at least a heavier low E (.052+) to get closer to that piano-like bass response on the palm mutes.
