Why these settings

Per double-gain prevention rules, the Marshall MG30FX is set to its clean channel with gain low so the Boss MT-2 provides all the saturated distortion. The Metal Zone's parametric EQ handles the iconic Korn mid-scoop around 800Hz (Mid Freq at 4, Middle cut to 3) while keeping punchy low end. The MG30FX lacks a physical presence knob so that control is left off.

PRO TIPTune down to A-standard (A-D-G-C-F-A-D or drop A-E-A-D-G-B-E on a 6-string) with heavy-gauge strings and strike aggressively with a stiff pick right next to the bridge to get that signature clanky, percussive attack.
