Claude's Recommendations
- DRIVE: JCM Amp (JC) at gain 12 — translates the Tonebridge Teavoy ValveKing Lead channel; that amp runs low drive (1.2) with cranked Presence (8.2) and Resonance (8.9), so the JCM Amp on low gain gives you the same punchy, present, barely-breaking-up character — the amp bite comes from character and EQ, not saturation.
- COMP/WAH: Compressor at depth 4 — the Tonebridge uses a Noise Gate (Boss NS-2, threshold 3.5) to tighten the signal; on the GEM Box, the Compressor at moderate depth does the same practical job of clamping dynamics and controlling noise between riffs.
- EQ: Low 4 (slight bass cut, matching the amp Bass at 3.3), Mid 7 (+6dB translating amp Mid 6.8 plus EQ Monster's +2.9dB at 1kHz), High 7 (+6dB matching Treble 7.5 and EQ Monster's +2.7/+3.0dB boosts at 4–8kHz) — this recreates Tonebridge's mid-presence and high-frequency air.
- NR/CAB: 4x12 Stack (S) with NR 4 — maps directly to the 4x12 Teavoy ValveKing cabinet in Tonebridge; on-axis mic position is well approximated by the GEM Box cab sim.
- REVERB: Plate type, level 2, decay 5 — translates the Echology (Boss RV-3) set to Plate with low effect level (1.7) and short time (0.5); gives the same slightly metallic, short ambience without washing out the riff. Expression pedal controls reverb level — push forward on melodic and open sections.
