Why these settings

The Peavey Transtube has solid high-gain voicing that approximates the Mesa Rectifier's tight saturation. Mids pushed to 7 compensates for the Transtube's slightly scooped character vs Mesa's mid-forward grind. Bass pulled to 5 prevents flub since the Les Paul humbuckers are hotter than Delson's DiMarzios. Original used heavy compression and noise gating in production—without a gate pedal, palm-mute aggressively to keep stops tight.

PRO TIPDelson tuned to drop C# and layered 8 guitar tracks panned wide in the studio—you cannot replicate that thickness live with one guitar. Focus on tight palm-muting technique and let the amp's compression do the work; pick closer to the bridge for more attack definition.
