Why these settings

Your MG30CFX's OD1 channel delivers the mid-forward Marshall voicing this tone needs. The Epiphone SG's humbuckers match the warm, thick character of 90s Malaysian rock perfectly. Gain at 6 gives you that crunchy-but-not-saturated rhythm tone; roll back to 5 for cleaner verses. Mid pushed to 7 because this genre lives in the midrange — it cuts through the mix without being shrill.

PRO TIPFor the melodic lead sections, roll your SG's tone knob down to 5-6 to get that slightly rounded, singing lead tone heard on the solo — the neck pickup with tone rolled back gives you the vocal-like sustain characteristic of this era's Malaysian rock ballad solos.
