Why these settings

The THR10II HI GAIN (Modern) model approximates the Uberschall's tight, saturated character. Mid is scooped to 3 (vs original's ~4.5) because the THR's digital modeling is already mid-present — this matches the scooped metalcore sound. Bass is conservative at 5 to keep palm mutes tight on a small speaker; the Uberschall's massive low-end would overwhelm the THR's 3" drivers at higher settings. Gain at 7 delivers the saturation without losing note definition on fast gallops.

PRO TIPPalm-mute hard and close to the bridge for that percussive 'chug' — the galloping riff in Unholy Confessions lives or dies by muting precision, not gain level. If notes smear together on fast runs, drop gain to 6 before adding more treble.
