Why these settings

Chuck used the ultra-hot DiMarzio X2N pickup into a Marshall Valvestate 8100's solid-state overdrive with the Contour control sculpting aggressive upper mids. On your NUX Mighty Lite BT MKII, select the Fireman high-gain amp model and use your physical TS9 set with zero drive and high level to emulate the extreme output and transient attack of Chuck's rig into the amp block. The NUX Mighty Lite BT MKII faceplate lacks a physical Presence knob, so treble is boosted to 7 to deliver the signature razor-sharp bite.

PRO TIPChuck Schuldiner tuned to D Standard (D-G-C-F-A-D) and used aggressive, strict alternate picking angled slightly into the string near the bridge for maximum percussive pick attack.
