Use sparingly — fuzz adds saturation but can get muddy. Engage for heavier sections only; the main riff works better with amp gain alone on this small combo.

Why these settings

The Yamaha GA115 is a basic solid-state practice amp without the Rectifier's tight low-end punch or channel switching. Scooped mids (3) replicate the nu-metal voicing. Gain at 7 pushes the solid-state preamp into mild breakup territory — this amp won't achieve true Rectifier saturation, so the tone will be cleaner and less compressed. Rolling tone knob to 7 tames the Flying V's bridge humbucker brightness since Borland's Cremona is warmer.

PRO TIPBorland's rhythm attack is extremely palm-mute dependent — anchor your picking hand firmly and use tight, staccato mutes on the low strings. The percussive 'chunk' defines this tone more than any EQ setting. If your amp sounds thin, try downtuning to Drop D or C# to get closer to that low-end weight.
