Why these settings

Marshall MG30CFX is naturally more aggressive and fizzy than the Mesa Mark IIC+ original. Mids pushed to 7 (vs original's 6) to retain vocal quality and thickness, treble cut to 6 (vs 7) to tame the MG's harsher top-end. Bass at 5 prevents muddiness with the Raptor's humbuckers. Tone knob rolled to 7 smooths the bridge pickup for that singing lead character.

PRO TIPUse light palm-muting on sustained notes and let them bloom—attack with the pick edge rather than flat-on to reduce pick noise and let the note's body come through with more vocal sustain.
