Why these settings

The THR30II's HI GAIN/Modern voicing approximates the 5150's tight saturation but lacks the same low-end thump, so bass is pulled back to 4 to avoid flub from the modeling. Gain dropped to 7 because the THR saturates earlier than a real 5150 and the GIO's Infinity humbuckers run hotter than Duncan Distortions. Treble stays high at 8 — the original recording is intentionally harsh and thin; don't smooth it out.

PRO TIPThe track is in Drop B — without proper string gauge (at least .12-.54 or a dedicated 7-string set on a 6) the low B will flub no matter how tight your amp settings are. Palm-mute hard and pick aggressively right over the bridge pickup pole pieces for that brittle Count Your Blessings attack.
