Why these settings

The NUX MG-30 Fireman HBE model provides tight low-end saturation suitable for Buster Odeholm's production style. We keep the amp bass tight at 4 and drive the TS9 block with zero drive and high level/tone to cut muddy sub-bass before the preamp stage. Passive Quantum humbuckers on the Ibanez need the extra treble and high gate threshold to achieve signature staccato thall stops.

PRO TIPPick forcefully with an aggressive downward attack right over the bridge pickup using a thick, pointed pick (2.0mm+) to produce the metallic, percussive string clank essential to the thall sound.
