The The Misfits guitar tone for “Father”, dialed in for a Marshall MG30CFX with a Gears4Music Warlock. Studio version, The Devil's Rain (2011)
Dez Cadena: Gibson Les Paul / Schecter with humbuckers -> Marshall JCM800 / DSL high-gain heads -> 4x12 Marshall cab (produced by Ed Stasium)
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |

| Master | 4 |
The Marshall MG30CFX delivers modern British crunch on OD-1 that closely tracks the JCM-style rhythm tone Ed Stasium dialed for Dez Cadena on The Devil's Rain. Your HD300 heavy distortion pedal is bypassed because stacking high-gain pedals into the MG solid-state drive stages turns muddy; the onboard OD-1 channel provides tighter, more articulated punk crunch on its own. Presence is set to null because the MG30CFX panel lacks a presence knob.
