01NUX MG-300 EFX Block (RC BOOST / Clean Booster)
Used in front of the DUAL RECT model to tighten the bottom end for palm muting
02NUX MG-300 NR Block (Noise Gate)
Essential for keeping the Rectifier high-gain model punchy and quiet
The MG-300 DUAL RECT amp model captures the thick low-mid wall of the original Mesa tracks, while the Gibson SG Modern's humbuckers provide the fast transient attack needed for the rhythm chugs. Using the onboard RC Boost block with low gain and boosted level tightens the flubby Recto bass response before hitting the preamp. For the clean reggae-style verse, bypass the EFX boost block and roll guitar volume down to 5 or switch to a clean Twin model preset.
