Why these settings

Your Jackson JS32 humbuckers are voiced similarly aggressive to the recorded Seymour Duncan JB, so no extreme EQ compensation is needed. Because you are using a digital modeler with no physical pedals, the tight metalcore attack is achieved by engaging an internal Screamer-style boost block with zero drive and high output ahead of a 5150 or Rectifier high-gain amp model. Bass is kept moderate at 5 to prevent the low end from flubbing out under heavy palm muting. Clean intro: switch to an onboard Clean amp model with bridge+neck pickups and light delay/reverb.

PRO TIPPick aggressively with a heavy 1.0mm+ tortex or ultex pick near the bridge, keeping your palm mute firmly anchored against the bridge saddles to get that distinct percussive chug without bass bloat.
