Why these settings

The Headrush Prime uses the Treadplate Modern amp block paired with an onboard Green JRC drive block to reproduce the Rectifier and Tube Screamer tracking chain. Because the Epiphone Les Paul Studio has passive Alnico humbuckers rather than the original's high-output active EMG 81s, the boost level is pushed to 9 and treble set to 7 to match that signature cutting pick attack. Keep the master dry without ambient reverb to preserve Hatebreed's raw, punchy rhythm track.

PRO TIPAnchor your palm firmly across the bridge saddles to get extreme percussive dampening on the low open chugs, striking exclusively with forceful downstrokes near the bridge pickup.
