Snow amp settings — NUX MG-300
The Red Hot Chili Pepers guitar tone for “Snow”, dialed in for a NUX MG-300 with a Cort x 100 2019 model. Studio version, Stadium Arcadium (2006) — main clean arpeggiated riff
1962 Fender Stratocaster (neck/middle pickup) -> Boss CE-1 Chorus Ensemble (preamp/subtle chorus) -> Marshall Major 200W (Clean headroom) paired with Marshall Silver Jubilee
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|

| Bass | 4 |
| Mid | 6 |
| Treble | 7 |
| Presence | 5 |
| Reverb | 2 |
| Master | 7 |
01Compressor (K-Comp block)
In front of amp model to even out the 16th-note alternate picking dynamic
02Chorus (CE-1 block)
Very subtle modulation for classic CE-1 preamp shimmer and stereo width
03Plate Reverb (RVB block)
Subtle room/plate ambience
The Cort X100 humbuckers are inherently darker and higher-output than Frusciante's vintage Strat single-coils, so the Plexi model gain is dialed back to 3 to keep it pristine clean while boosting treble to 7. Use the middle selector position (both humbuckers split/parallel blend) and roll back volume slightly if needed to capture single-coil glassiness and string definition.
