The MG15R is naturally mid-focused, so running on the Clean channel with treble boosted to 7 compensates for the dark ceramic humbuckers on the Jackson JS22 and mimics the glassy Roland JC-120 high end. Keep gain low at 2 to ensure total headroom for the tight funk stabs. The JS22 in the middle position splits or blends the coils to achieve a spankier, single-coil-like transient attack.
