Why these settings

The NUX Mighty's British/Crunch amp model approximates the Marshall-style mid-forward tone heard on the track. Your SC-Custom II's humbuckers are ideal here—the Roswell pickups have enough output to push the modeler into that chunky rhythm tone without a boost pedal. Mid at 6 compensates for the typical digital modeling scoop and keeps the guitar cutting through.

PRO TIPPalm mute the low strings lightly during verse sections and open up for choruses to match the dynamic contrast in the original—the tone stays the same, your right hand does the work.
