Why these settings

The NUX Mighty MK2's HiGain channel with the Recto-style amp model gets closest to the Dual Rectifier's saturated modern voicing. The original used a Tube Screamer to tighten the low end and push the amp's front end, but since you have no pedals, gain is set to 7 to maintain definition without becoming muddy—the NUX's digital gain stays tighter than an analog Rectifier at high settings. Mids at 5 prevent the scooped-disappearing-in-mix problem common to this genre.

PRO TIPThis tone lives in the picking hand—aggressive downpicking with palm mutes anchored close to the bridge saddles creates that machine-gun chug attack. Let the pick dig in hard on the low strings and the amp's compression will do the rest.
