Still Loving You (Single Version) amp settings — Marshall MG30CFX

The Scorpions guitar tone for “Still Loving You (Single Version)”, dialed in for a Marshall MG30CFX with a Ibanez AZ2204. Studio version, Love at First Sting (1984) — single edit

Original rig

Gibson Flying V with humbuckers through Marshall JCM800 2203, gain moderate (5), mids pushed (6), presence forward (6). Boss CE-2 chorus used subtly on clean arpeggios.

Warm, vocal midrange crunch that cleans up with volume roll-off; neck pickup arpeggios with slight chorus shimmer on the iconic intro, building to full-bodied sustained leads

Why these settings

Your MG30CFX's Crunch channel is voiced similar to a JCM800's driven preamp — the original's moderate gain 5 translates directly. The MG30CFX has no dedicated presence knob, so I've pushed treble to 6 to capture the JCM800's upper-mid bite that presence would add. Your AZ2204's Seymour Duncan humbuckers are hotter than the original Flying V's PAF-style pickups, but the output difference is minor; keep gain at 5 rather than backing off.

PRO TIPRoll your guitar volume to 6 for the clean intro arpeggios, then push to 8 as the song builds — the MG30CFX's Crunch channel responds well to volume dynamics, letting you move from shimmering clean to warm crunch without touching the amp, exactly like Rudolf Schenker did on the original.
