Why these settings

The Glarry GA-20 is a small solid-state practice amp with an 8-inch speaker, so pushing the onboard drive to 7 is required to get the necessary saturation today, though it will naturally sound boxier and fizzier than Stephen Carpenter's ADA MP-1 rack setup. To compensate for single coils vs Carpenter's hot Duncan JB humbucker, roll the guitar tone knob back slightly to 8 to shave shrillness and keep amp bass at 6 to avoid farting out the small speaker. Clean verse: switch the amp drive button off to return to clean.

PRO TIPStephen Carpenter recorded this in Drop Db (Db-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb) using aggressive, heavy-handed downpicking across open chord voicings; strike all strings with a thick 1.0mm+ pick right next to the bridge to get that signature percussive wall-of-sound attack.
