The Peavey Backstage 50 features Pre/Post gain controls (Saturation circuit) plus Thick/Presence switches and EQ. To emulate Jamie Rhoden's cranked single-coil Strat through a Marshall JCM800, your humbucker-equipped Les Paul needs the treble and presence pushed to 7 and 6 while keeping saturation at 6 to avoid excessive low-mid mud. Keep reverb completely off to maintain the dry, punchy attack characteristic of the album.
