Why these settings

The Frontman 20G's Drive channel provides the aggressive bite needed for the industrial rhythm riff, so keep gain at 7 to prevent the 8-inch speaker from flubbing out. The Jackson JS32 high-output ceramic bridge humbucker already pushes the front-end hard, so pushing midrange to 6 and treble to 7 delivers the sharp, synth-like industrial cut without needing an external distortion pedal.

PRO TIPPalm-mute heavily right against the bridge saddles with aggressive, strictly downward pick strokes to emulate the tight, sequenced envelope of the track's electro-industrial riff.
