Why these settings

Your LEEM KA-1210 is a basic practice amp without true high-gain voicing — it cannot produce 5150-level saturation. Use your MG-30 as the ENTIRE signal chain: select its 5150/Recto model, add a TS boost with drive at zero, and run into the LEEM's cleanest setting (gain 0-2) or FX return. The MG-30 does the heavy lifting; the LEEM just amplifies. Mids scooped to 3-4 on the modeler replicates Amott's tight modern metal scoop.

PRO TIPFor Amott's palm-mute precision, pick directly over the bridge pickup with the meaty part of your palm resting just behind the saddles — not too far forward or it chokes; not too far back or it loses definition. Downpick the chugs; alternate pick only the faster runs.
