Place before amp block — this is critical to the La Grange tone; the Rangemaster pushes the Plexi into singing overdrive

Why these settings

Your Epiphone Les Paul Classic with ProBuckers is a solid match for Pearly Gates—same humbucker architecture. The Brit Plexi Brt model nails the 1959 Marshall voicing. The Stupor OD block replicates the Rangemaster's treble boost that defines this tone; without it, you lose the searing harmonic content and singing sustain. Roll tone knob to 7 to tame the ProBucker's slightly hotter ceramic top end versus PAF-style pickups.

PRO TIPFor Gibbons' signature pinch harmonics, choke up on the pick so your thumb grazes the string immediately after the pick attack—aim for the harmonic nodes around the neck pickup area while picking near the bridge.
