Why these settings

The Peavey Express 112 solid-state Transtube circuit handles high gain well on the Lead channel with Gain at 6. Using the MXR Ten Band EQ to pull down 500Hz and 1kHz while pushing 125Hz and 2-4kHz precisely recreates Wes Borland's signature Mesa Dual Rectifier chunk on your Cort KX100 humbuckers. The external dirt pedals are bypassed to avoid muddying the amp's tight Transtube preamp distortion.

PRO TIPDrop tune your lowest string (Drop D or C# tuning as standard for Limp Bizkit) and dig hard into the bridge pickup near the saddles with aggressive palm muting on the heavy chorus riffs.
