The SG Modern's BurstBucker Pro pickups are slightly punchier than 1980s Dirty Fingers humbuckers, so running the pickup selector in the middle position balances the chime and body. On the NUX MG-300, a pristine clean amp model paired with the compressor and Dimension chorus provides the studio-grade rack sheen of the 1987 record. For the distorted chorus chords, engage a Plexi/British 800 amp drive block.
