Use the 'Germanium Drive' or similar treble booster model in Pod Go; place before amp block. This is the secret sauce for Gibbons' searing harmonics.

Level 7 · Treble 6

Why these settings

Your Epiphone's bridge humbucker is hotter than Gibbons' vintage PAF, so gain drops 1 from what a true '59 Les Paul would need. The Brit Plexi Brt model nails the Marshall Plexi voicing; the treble booster block before it replicates the Rangemaster pushing the front end into that signature grinding sustain. Mid stays high at 7 to capture the bark that cuts through.

PRO TIPGibbons' pinch harmonics are essential to this tone — dig your picking-hand thumb into the string immediately after the pick attack on accented notes, especially on the main riff's low E string hits. This technique creates the squealing overtones that define the track.
