Why these settings

Per double-gain prevention, the Blackstar Silverline is set to a clean platform with low preamp gain (2) and ISF set to American (counter-clockwise) to mimic Mesa low-end response. The Victory V1 Kraken provides the core high-gain 5150/Rectifier saturation, boosted by the TS Mini with Drive at zero to tighten the low-end transient attack. The Epiphone Explorer's bridge humbucker matches Wes Borland's aggressive, punchy high-gain palm mutes cleanly.

PRO TIPAggressive, heavy right-hand palm muting right near the bridge saddles is essential to get the percussive, mechanical chug characteristic of Borland's nu-metal riffing.
