Why these settings

Per double-gain prevention, the HM-2W serves as the primary high-gain source so the MG30CFX is set to its cleanest Clean channel with gain parked low at 2. The HM-2W in Custom mode supplies the aggressive 2000s industrial/nu-metal crunch without the mush of stacking into the MG's dirty channels. The Marshall MG30CFX has no presence knob, so it is omitted.

PRO TIPTune down to Drop C# (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb with the low string dropped to Db) and use heavy, locked palm muting right against the bridge saddles to get the razor-sharp percussive chug heard in the main riff.
