Why these settings

The MG30GFX naturally has aggressive Marshall upper-mid bite, so scooping the mids down to 3 emulates the modern Mesa Dual Rectifier sound Borland used. Channel OD-2 provides the necessary high-gain compression, while keeping bass around 7 gives low-end weight without overloading the 10-inch speaker. Note that the MG30GFX faceplate has no physical presence knob.

PRO TIPBorland recorded this tuned to C# Standard (or Drop C#)—tuning your Ibanez down slackens string tension and instantly delivers that distinctive heavy, percussive nu-metal chug.
