Why these settings

The NUX Mighty 8BT MKII is a digital modeling amp, so we utilize its onboard high-gain Mesa Rectifier / Fireman amp model to recreate Brad Delson's iconic wall-of-sound saturation. The mids are slightly scooped to 4 and bass set to 7 to deliver the heavy nu-metal low-end without needing external pedals. Presence is null as the physical NUX 8BT MKII faceplate features a 3-band EQ (Bass, Middle, Treble) without an external presence knob.

PRO TIPTune down to Drop C# (Db-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb) and use firm palm muting right on the bridge saddles to get the tight, crushing attack heard on the main riff.
