Why these settings

The THR10II's BRIT HI model approximates the JCM800 crunch the Castro brothers built their sound on. Your Pacifica's Alnico V humbucker in the bridge is hotter than vintage PAFs, so gain at 7 (not 8-9) prevents mush. Mid at 7 preserves the bark that defines Spanish heavy metal; the THR's voicing is slightly scooped vs a real Marshall, so we push mids up to compensate.

PRO TIPFor the twin-guitar harmony sections, roll your tone knob to 6 on the neck pickup to fatten the melodic lines — this mimics how Armando often voiced his harmony guitar slightly darker than Carlos's lead.
