Thick, detuned low-end chug with scooped mids, percussive attack, and gritty high-gain saturation — dry and articulate

Why these settings

The MG100HCFX OD2 channel is your highest-gain voice and gets close to the JMP-1/ADA preamp saturation. Mids scooped to 3 (vs original's 4) because the MG series is already mid-forward compared to the scooped Rectifier-style sound Carpenter blended. Bass at 7 compensates for your EC-50's thinner low-end vs his baritone-scale ESP. The original used a Boss FZ-2 for gritty octave fuzz on top — without it you lose some upper-harmonic snarl, but the core chug is reachable from amp gain alone.

PRO TIPTune to Drop C# (C#-G#-C#-F#-A#-D#) and palm-mute hard directly over the bridge pickup pole pieces — Carpenter's attack is percussive and dry, almost like a kick drum, so muting position matters more than pick angle here.
