Why these settings

The 10W Gear4Music practice amp speaker will fart out and turn muddy if pushed with onboard drive, so keep it set totally clean with the boost button off. The DigiTech Hot Head handles all the saturated Mesa-style gain, using its 2-band EQ to add low-end body for the Mustang's single coils. The amp faceplate has only Bass, Treble, Gain, and Master (no mid, presence, or reverb controls), so shaping is handled at the pedal.

PRO TIPDrop-D tuning is mandatory; use strict, hard alternate picking close to the bridge to keep the sixteenth-note octave riffs punchy and defined.
