Why these settings

Engage the GA-15's Drive channel with gain set high to mimic the heavy saturation of a modern metalcore head. Scoop the mids to 3 while keeping treble at 7 to capture the sharp, aggressive bite of the record. Keep bass at 6 to prevent the 6.5-inch practice speaker from bottoming out on heavy palm mutes. Clean verse: switch the amp's drive button off to clean mode with the guitar volume on 8.

PRO TIPTune to Drop C (C-G-C-F-A-D) and strike your chugs with heavy, precise palm muting right against the bridge saddles to keep the small speaker tight and punchy.
