Why these settings

The Deviser TG-40R is a budget solid-state practice amp—it will not replicate the Rectifier's tube saturation and massive low-end thump. Push gain to 7 to get into high-gain territory, scoop mids to 3 for that nu-metal character, and keep treble at 7 for attack clarity. The TG-40R likely lacks a presence knob, so treble carries all the high-frequency work. Roll tone knob to 8 to tame any fizz from solid-state clipping.

PRO TIPDelson's Hybrid Theory tone relies heavily on extremely tight palm muting—anchor your picking hand firmly and mute aggressively right at the bridge saddles. The 'chunk' comes from technique as much as gear. If your amp sounds flubby on low notes, back bass down to 5 and tighten your muting.
