Why these settings

The Vox Pathfinder 10 is a clean-platform Class A amp with no gain channel and a naturally mid-forward British voicing, making it fundamentally incompatible with the Mesa Triple Rectifier's scooped modern high-gain character. The Tube Screamer and Big Muff stack into the clean amp input provides the only path to approximating the saturated, compressed distortion of the original recording. Your Epiphone SG's humbuckers are hotter than the Universe's stock pickups, so the pedals alone will deliver sufficient gain saturation without needing amp overdrive.

PRO TIPKorn's tone relies on extreme low-end tuning (drop A on 7-strings). On a 6-string in standard tuning, you lose the fundamental weight. Tune down to drop C or drop B and palm-mute heavily to simulate the percussive low-string attack that defines this tone.
