Why these settings

On an 8-string RG8, the lowest strings easily turn to mud under heavy saturation, so amp bass is held at 5 while the virtual TS block cleans up the sub-frequencies with zero drive and maxed level. The Treadplate/5150 amp model in the Headrush provides the massive harmonic saturation, boosted in upper mids and presence to maintain edge. Master presence is raised to cut through the heavy low-tuning fundamentals.

PRO TIPUse a stiff, sharp pick (1.5mm+) and pick aggressively right next to the bridge saddles to maximize string tension attack on the low F# and B strings.
