Why these settings

Since you are running the Tank-G as your primary modeler direct/headphones, set its preamp block to the high-gain British model to replicate the Marshall JMP-1 OD2 channel. Keep mids solid at 6 to maintain the percussive attack of Stephen Carpenter's Drop C# riff without getting lost in fizzy low-end. The tone is totally dry, so leave the time-based effects bypassed and engage the gate for tight stops.

PRO TIPTune down to Drop C# (Db-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb) and use heavy, downstroke-dominant picking right next to the bridge to get that signature tight, metallic punch on the open low chugs.
