Why these settings

The Engl Fireball 100 has a naturally compressed, saturated German high-gain voice that is native to Helmuth's European blackened death metal sound. Since the Fireball produces immense low end, keep the bass around 6 and engage the Bottom switch while boosting mids to 6 to retain clarity during Erik Rutan-style rapid alternate picking. Because you own no pedals, a clean overdrive boost is recommended to clamp down the sub-lows and add picking percussiveness.

PRO TIPAnchor your pick hand firmly against the bridge saddles and pick with a stiff 1.5mm+ sharp plectrum using aggressive downstrokes on the low B/Drop-A power chords to match Helmuth's unrelenting transient punch.
