RECOMMENDED — essential for tight palm-muted riffs with dead silence between hits. Boss NS-2 or TC Sentry are affordable options. Without this, your chugs will have hum and sustain bleed.

Why these settings

The MG30GFX is voiced brighter and thinner than a Dual Rectifier, which has massive low-end thump and compressed saturation. I pushed bass +1 and mid +2 versus the original Rectifier settings to compensate for the MG's scooped, fizzy character. Gain stays at 7 because the MG's OD2 channel is less saturated than a Rectifier — you need the extra push. Treble dropped -1 to avoid the Marshall solid-state harshness the Rectifier doesn't have.

PRO TIPYour GRG121DX has Infinity humbuckers which are lower output than Kruspe's EMG 81s — pick closer to the bridge and dig in hard with a stiff pick (1mm+) to get that tight, percussive attack on the palm mutes. The EMG compression is missing, so your picking dynamics will matter more.
