Why these settings

The JCM800 2203 naturally delivers the core British roar of the record. Because your ESP LTD carries hotter active EMG pickups compared to Glenn Tipton's classic passive humbuckers, preamp gain is dialed back to 7 to retain punch without turning to mush, while mids are pushed hard to replicate the treble booster's aggressive vocal midrange.

PRO TIPDig in with hard downpicking near the bridge using an extra-heavy pick to replicate the sharp, papery attack of Tipton's muted rhythm gallop.
