Why these settings

The iconic rhythm tone is driven by a Peavey 5150 boosted with a Tube Screamer; in the GE100, keep the DS/AMP module clean and derive front-end compression and tightness from the overdrive block to prevent muddy digital clipping. Compensate for passive humbuckers vs Matt Tuck's active EMGs by keeping treble at 7 and boosting the level on the TS block. Drop your tuning to Drop C (C-G-C-F-A-D) to achieve the authentic string tension and resonance.

PRO TIPAnchor your palm directly over the bridge saddles for rapid, percussive downstrokes; pick hard with a heavy 1.0mm+ pick to replicate the sharp EMG 81 attack on the open C chugs.
