Why these settings

Your Peavey 5150 is an ideal match—it shares the tight, aggressive character of the Mark IV with similar 6L6 power section. The 5150 has a naturally tighter low-end and more forward upper-mids than the Mark IV, so I pulled bass down from Loeffler's 8 to 7 and dropped mids from 5 to 4 to approximate the Mark IV's smoother scoop. Gain sits at 7 rather than 9 because the 5150's Lead channel saturates faster.

PRO TIPTune to Drop B and use .011-.052 or heavier strings—the riff's percussive attack depends on that low string tension fighting back against your picking hand. Palm mute directly over the bridge saddles for maximum chunk.
