Plush amp settings — Zoom G1X Four

The Stone Temple Pilots guitar tone for “Plush”, dialed in for a Zoom G1X Four with a Gibson Les Paul Classic. Studio version, Core (1992) — rhythm tone

Original rig

'57 Gibson Les Paul TV Special (P-90s) → Boss CE-1 Chorus → Eventide Micro Pitch Shift → '66 Marshall 18-watt combo; live: Demeter TGP-3 → VHT 2150 → Marshall 4x12 (V30) blended with Vox AC30

Dynamic mid-forward crunch with subtle modulation width — semi-clean that cleans up with volume knob

Why these settings

Your Les Paul's humbuckers are hotter than DeLeo's P-90s — gain dropped to 5 (vs 5.5-6 on original Marshall) and mid pushed to 7 to retain P-90 midrange bark without mud. Tone knob at 7 (vs DeLeo's wide-open 10) tames humbucker brightness. Volume at 8 gives you headroom to roll back for verses (DeLeo rides volume constantly). On the G1X Four, select the MS 800 amp model and enable both the Chorus and Pitch Shift FX blocks in series — the pitch shift is the secret to the wide, non-warbling modulation that defines this tone.

PRO TIPDeLeo's signature move is riding the guitar volume knob between 6 (verses) and 8-10 (chorus) to control breakup dynamically — the amp stays at moderate gain, and your hands do the rest. Dig in hard on the low E power chords and let the pick attack define the crunch.
