My Iron Lung amp settings — Muvithal Ag 15

The Radiohead guitar tone for “My Iron Lung”, dialed in for a Muvithal Ag 15 with a Fender Player Stratocaster. Studio version, The Bends (1995) — signature explosive distorted chorus and riff

Original rig

Why these settings

The Muvithal AG-15 is an unrecognized compact practice amp with basic two-band EQ, so mid and presence controls are set to null while the amp is parked clean to prevent double-gain mud. The owned Cube Baby acts as the primary gain source simulating Jonny's Marshall ShredMaster distortion. Your Strat single-coil bridge pickup is naturally thinner than Jonny's high-output Lace Sensor Dually humbucker, so keep the Cube Baby Drive high and tone around 6 to maintain low-end weight without getting shrill. Quiet verses: disengage the Cube Baby drive and switch to the Strat neck pickup.

PRO TIPHit the strings with extreme percussive force directly over the bridge saddles; Jonny's raw, jagged attack comes from hyper-aggressive right-hand pick velocity rather than excessive amp saturation.
