He actually needs to do the exact opposite of that.
There seem to be no mids in this short clip whatsoever.

Sorry i dont really know what i'm on about. I was just kind of guessing what he should do :)
By virtue of their electrical properties, tubes generate a special waveform when they're saturated, which is why tube engineering has tremendous tonal advantages over solid state or DSP solutions, particularly for crunch and lead sounds. Tubes enter the saturation zone gradually or softly, which lends tube-driven tone its trademark yet totally unique character.
