The NUX Mighty 40 BT is a guitar modeling combo with a 10-inch speaker and a 3-band EQ, so selecting a mid-gain Crunch model with gain at 6 reproduces the cranked Ampeg SVT tube breakup directly from the amp. The StingRay humbucker naturally supplies the necessary punch and top-end clack, while pushing the amp mids to 8 prevents the tone from sounding thin. If you later add a dedicated bass preamp or overdrive pedal, move the amp to the Clean channel with gain at 2 to avoid double-gain distortion.
