Why these settings

The Line 6 POD Go Cali Rectifire amp model perfectly captures Borland's Mesa Triple Rectifier saturation. The Scream 808 is set as a clean boost (Gain 0, Level 8) to cut sub-bass flub before the high-gain stage, pairing with the Ibanez Quantum bridge humbucker for tight, aggressive low-tuned attack. The mid scoop (set to 4) preserves nu-metal bite without getting buried.

PRO TIPBorland recorded this track tuned down to C# Standard (C#-F#-B-E-G#-C#); use heavy gauge strings (.011–.054) and aggressive, strictly downward palm-muted pick attack right next to the bridge saddles for the iconic percussive chug.
