Conspiracy amp settings — NUX MG-101
The Paramore guitar tone for “Conspiracy”, dialed in for a NUX MG-101 with a Yamaha Pacifica 112V. Studio version, All We Know Is Falling (2005)
Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, PRS Custom 24 / Gibson Les Paul with humbuckers, minimal pedals—amp-driven gain
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 6 |
| Bass | 4 |
| Mid | 7 |
| Treble | 6 |
| Presence | 5 |
| Reverb | 0 |
| Master | 5 |
The original Rectifier tone is scooped and aggressive, but your NUX MG-101 modeling amp has a brighter, thinner voice. I pushed mids to 7 to compensate for the lack of tube saturation thickness and kept bass conservative at 4 to maintain palm-mute definition on the song's Drop D tuning. Your Pacifica's Alnico V bridge humbucker is slightly lower output than a PRS/Gibson, so gain at 6 gives you the crunch without fizz.
