Why these settings

Your Peavey 6505+ is the exact core amp architecture used on the track. Running the TS9 as a clean boost (Drive 0, Level 9) tightens the 6505+'s low-end flub and lets you keep the preamp gain at a punchy, articulated 6. Set Resonance to 6 on your amp to dial in the low-end thump of their Bogner 4x12 cabinet.

PRO TIPAggressive, precise palm-muting right against the bridge saddles is essential to get the staccato, percussive chug of this opening riff.
