Why these settings

The SG Modern humbuckers are warmer and more dynamic than the active EMGs on the original record, so boosting presence to 7 and pulling mids to 4 reclaims the required deathcore bite and scoop. Running the NUX MG-300's TS block as a zero-gain level boost cuts muddy sub-bass before the amp block to keep Drop C breakdowns razor-sharp. Keep reverb completely off to maintain an immediate, bone-dry rhythm attack.

PRO TIPAggressively mute with the meat of your picking-hand palm right against the bridge saddles while striking hard on downstrokes to emulate the hyper-tight percussive tracking of active EMGs.
