Why these settings

The DOUBLE REC model on the VT40X provides the high-saturation attack needed for grindcore without needing external pedals. Mids are pushed to 7 to maintain articulation through fast tremolo riffs, while keeping the reverb completely at zero for dry, immediate punch.

PRO TIPUse heavy downward palm-muting right at the bridge saddle and pick aggressively with a rigid, heavy pick to get that sharp, grinding grindcore attack.
