Why these settings

The Fender Frontman 15G (PR-241) is a small solid-state practice amp with an 8-inch speaker and only Bass and Treble controls (no physical Mid or Presence knobs). Its built-in drive circuit is fizzy and incapable of producing modern metalcore saturation, so the amp must stay on the clean channel with low gain while relying on a recommended high-gain distortion pedal. The Gibson Les Paul Special's P-90 or humbucker bridge pickup provides great natural bite, so keep Treble moderate on the amp to avoid harsh top end on the small speaker.

PRO TIPShadow Moses is played in Drop C (C-G-C-F-A-D); tune down and use heavy right-hand palm-muting right against the bridge saddles to get the sharp, percussive attack of the main breakdown riff.
