Note: Distance is a warm, thick modern high-gain — a Gibson ES-335 (or humbucker) into an EVH 5150III Blue/Crunch channel. Wolf runs it BASS-heavy with treble pulled BACK (bass ~7, treble ~4-5), medium-high gain, and a tight gate. Warm and thick, not bright or scooped. Build dynamically into the chorus., Use a warm humbucker into a 5150-style crunch channel, bass up, treble back, medium-high gain with a tight gate; keep verses cleaner and open into a big warm chorus., Settings are community-researched starting points, not official recall sheets.
