Thick low-tuned JCM800 metalcore crunch — driving, mid-present, aggressive but not scooped, tight palm-mutes

Why these settings

Your Code 50 has a JCM800 model that nails this tone directly — select it and you're already in the right Marshall voicing. Your Epiphone Les Paul Slash with Seymour Duncan Slash humbuckers is output-matched to the original Les Paul setup, so no gain compensation needed. Treble dropped 0.5 from baseline because the Code's digital modeling can get fizzy at higher treble values. Reverb is 0 — the studio track is bone dry on guitars.

PRO TIPTune down to Drop C or C Standard with at least .011-.054 strings (heavier if possible) to get the low-end chug and string tension Lee Malia uses — standard tuning will sound thin and flappy on the palm-muted riffs no matter how you dial the amp.
