Why these settings

The Epiphone SG Standard humbuckers naturally push a punchy upper-midrange that suits modern rock riffing. On the NUX MG-30, pairing the Brit 800 / Fireman amp model with a front-end Tube Drive boost tightens the flubby bass and adds the aggressive attack heard on the track's main riffs. Keep the amp bass around 5 to maintain clarity when chugging.

PRO TIPDig in with a heavy pick angle on the bridge pickup for the opening riff; let the TS boost drive the preamp saturation without turning the amp gain too high to retain chord separation.
