RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. Essential for tightening the low-end on downtuned riffs and adding mid-focus. Run into the amp's dirty channel as a boost, not a standalone distortion.
The Glarry GA-20 is a budget solid-state practice amp with limited headroom and a basic EQ section—it cannot replicate the 5150/Rectifier saturation or tight low-end response. Gain is pushed to 8 to maximize available dirt, but mids are boosted to 6 (vs a scooped Rectifier setting) because the GA-20 lacks the natural mid-presence of tube high-gain amps. Bass is restrained at 4 to prevent flub on downtuned material since the small speaker will mud out quickly. Your Epiphone LP 60s with ProBuckers is actually well-matched to the original Les Paul Customs—no guitar compensation needed.
