Why these settings

The DigiTech DG15 is a practice amp with limited gain staging compared to the Dual Rectifier's crushing saturation. Gain at 8 pushes the preamp hard for maximum dirt. Mid at 6 compensates for the DG15's tendency toward scooped voicing — the original tone has strong 800Hz-1kHz bark. Bass at 4 keeps the low-end tight for palm mutes; the Recto was famous for tight lows despite its saturation. Treble at 5 avoids fizz. Tone knob at 7 on your Les Paul rolls off some high-frequency hash that the DG15's distortion can emphasize. This amp cannot fully replicate Rectifier saturation — a distortion pedal (Boss DS-1 or MT-2) would get you significantly closer.

PRO TIPAnchor your picking hand firmly on the bridge for palm mutes and dig in hard with downstrokes — the original track's tightness comes from aggressive right-hand technique, not just amp gain. Keep mutes short and percussive on the verse riff.
