Why these settings

The DigiTech DG15 is a practice amp with limited headroom and a basic EQ section compared to the Dual Rectifier's tight, scooped modern voicing. I've scooped the mids to 4 to approximate the Rectifier's characteristic mid-cut, kept bass strong at 6 for Drop D palm mutes, and rolled your tone knob to 7 to tame the small amp's tendency toward fizzy highs at higher gain. The DG15 won't deliver the same low-end authority or gain saturation, but this gets you into the ballpark for bedroom practice.

PRO TIPTune to Drop D and focus on extremely consistent palm-mute pressure—the original tone's tightness comes from Moody's disciplined right-hand technique as much as the amp; inconsistent muting will sound muddy on any rig.
