Why these settings

Per double-gain rules, the MG30CFX is set to its clean channel with gain low to act as an uncompressed pedal platform for the OS-2. The MXR 6-Band EQ shapes the front-end to emulate the combined midrange punch of Bill Leverty's multi-tracked JMP/Soldano setup. The MG30CFX lacks a physical presence control, so the presence parameter is nulled.

PRO TIPDig in with a heavy pick using slight palm-muting right at the Floyd Rose saddles to capture the tight, percussive bounce on the opening riff.
