Why these settings

The SG Modern's hot bridge humbucker delivers the necessary output and punch, tuned to Drop D (D-A-D-G-B-E). The NUX MG-300's TS Drive block is run with zero drive and high level into the Mesa amp model to mimic Mark Morton's front-end boost tightening the low end. A slight mid cut on the amp block reproduces the signature Mesa Mark IV graphic EQ scoop while retaining enough mid cut-through for fast single-note runs.

PRO TIPAnchor your palm mute firmly across the bridge saddle and dig in with a heavy pick (1.0mm+) at an aggressive angle to get that percussive, mechanical bite on the main riff's chromatic runs.
