Why these settings

The Gear4Music amp is a budget solid-state unit with limited gain saturation compared to the Bogner Uberschall's tube compression. Push gain to 8 to compensate for lower output saturation. Mids are scooped to 3 because the original Uberschall tone is notoriously mid-scooped for that chunky metalcore sound. Your Harley Benton TE-20HH has dual humbuckers similar to the Les Paul Custom, so no pickup compensation needed—use bridge pickup only.

PRO TIPThe galloping rhythm in this song requires extremely tight palm muting right at the bridge saddles—mute harder than you think and use all downstrokes on the triplet gallops for maximum attack and consistency.
