Why these settings

The Valvestate 8100's OD2 channel with Boost engaged gets you into similar tight, scooped territory as Carpenter's ADA MP-1. Mids at 2 is critical—this is a deliberately scooped tone for percussive palm-muted chug. The 8100 has a tighter, more solid-state clipping character than the original tube preamp, so gain stays at 7 rather than pushing higher to avoid fizz. Your Richwood's passive humbuckers are lower output than Carpenter's JB, but the 8100's high-gain voicing compensates.

PRO TIPTune to Drop Db (or as low as your strings allow without flubbing out) and pick directly over the bridge pickup pole pieces with firm, consistent downstrokes—the percussive attack is 50% of this tone.
