EVERYTHING amp settings — Marshall MG30CFX
The The Black Skirts guitar tone for “EVERYTHING”, dialed in for a Marshall MG30CFX with a Mooer Mooer MSC40 Pro Guitar Dreamy Blue. Studio version, Team Baby album (2017)
Korean indie production typically uses Fender-style clean platforms (Jazzmaster/Jaguar/Telecaster into Fender amps or Roland JC-120), with chorus, delay, and reverb creating the signature dreamy wash. The Black Skirts' sound draws from shoegaze and 80s synth-pop guitar textures.

01Chorus (RECOMMENDED — use MG30CFX built-in FX)
RECOMMENDED — Use the MG30CFX's built-in digital FX. Select the Chorus effect via the FX selector. This is essential for the dreamy shimmer.
02Delay (RECOMMENDED — use MG30CFX built-in FX or external)
RECOMMENDED — The MG30CFX FX section can only run one effect at a time. For the full tone, an external delay pedal (Boss DD-3 or similar, ~$50 used) stacked with the amp's chorus would get you closer. Without it, prioritize the chorus and lean on the built-in reverb.
The MG30CFX is a Marshall-voiced solid-state amp, naturally mid-forward compared to the Fender-style cleans on the original. Keep gain at 2 to stay clean — any higher and the Marshall voicing adds grit this tone doesn't want. Treble at 6 compensates for the rolled-back tone knob while avoiding harshness. The built-in digital reverb is your friend here; crank it to 7 for that ambient wash. Your Mooer MSC40 Pro has a coil-split humbucker — use the neck position for warmth.
