Why these settings

NUX Mighty BT Mk2's Modern channel emulates Rectifier-style voicing (scooped) but Bogner Uberschall is mid-forward, so mid pushed to 8 (vs original ~7.5) to compensate for the modeling amp's natural scoop. Bass cut to 4 (vs original 3.5) because your Ibanez Quantum humbuckers are hotter and bassier than Invaders' ceramic aggression, preventing mud. Gain at 8 matches the original's preamp-driven saturation without needing an external boost.

PRO TIPTune to Drop D (low E down to D). Attack with steep downstrokes on palm-muted gallops—pick closer to the bridge for maximum articulation and that signature percussive chug that defines the main riff.
