Why these settings

The Fireman HBE model on the MG-300 approximates the Bogner Uberschall's tight saturation. Gain at 7 is sufficient because the TS808 boost in front adds perceived tightness without mud. Mid at 4 gives the characteristic A7X scoop while keeping enough presence to cut through. Your SG humbuckers are slightly warmer than Synyster's Invaders so treble stays at 7 to compensate.

PRO TIPFor the main riff's palm-muted gallop, anchor your picking hand firmly on the bridge saddles and pick closer to the bridge than usual—this adds the percussive attack that defines the City of Evil rhythm tone.
