Why these settings

The Harley Benton ST-20HSS bridge humbucker is slightly brighter and lower-output than a Les Paul Custom, so amp gain is bumped to 7 while keeping treble balanced at 7. On the M-Vave Tank G, running the internal OD block with zero drive and high level into High-Gain Amp Model 9 replicates Zacky and Syn's TS-boosted Dual Rectifier/Bogner stack. Keep the bass at 6 to prevent the multi-FX digital converter from turning mushy during fast pedal-point riffs.

PRO TIPPick aggressively with a heavy, pointed pick (1.0mm+) right next to the bridge saddles to get the razor-sharp string attack essential for the main riff's gallops and single-note runs.
