Why these settings

The Laney LH50 tube head is naturally warmer and more mid-focused than a Mesa Dual Rectifier, so mids are pulled back slightly while treble and presence are pushed to match the aggressive bite of the record. The Boss ME-25 runs a Tube Screamer model with low drive and high level into the drive channel to tighten the RG550's ceramic bridge humbucker and keep the low-D palm mutes punchy. Clean intro/verse: roll the RG550 volume knob down to 5 or switch the ME-25 block off.

PRO TIPDrop the low E string to D and hit the open octave shapes hard with a heavy downstroke attack near the bridge to get the distinctive, percussive chime of the main riff.
