Why these settings

Your Epiphone Les Paul Classic with ProBuckers matches Pearly Gates' PAF character well. Roll guitar volume to 6 for the intro's cleaner touch-sensitive breakup (Gibbons used volume dynamics heavily), then push to 10 when the band enters. The Plexi Lead 100 model on Pod Go nails the mid-forward bark; mid at 7 compensates for the Plexi model's slightly scooped default voicing vs the real amp's natural midrange punch.

PRO TIPGibbons plays the intro shuffle with fingers and pick simultaneously (hybrid picking), attacking strings gently to stay in that sweet spot where the amp barely breaks up — dig in harder and it snarls, back off and it cleans. This dynamic control IS the tone.
