Why these settings

The Mustang GT40's '80s British amp model delivers the core JCM800 crunch used across Youthanasia. Because the Jackson JS32 ceramic humbuckers have a hotter, brighter output than Duncan passives, treble is reined in to 6 while pushing mids to 7 to maintain the thick, vocal rhythm punch. Clean intro/verses: roll the guitar volume down to 4-5 on the neck pickup for instant clean-up.

PRO TIPDave Mustaine picks with a firm, angled downward attack close to the bridge saddles; keeping your palm muting clamped right over the bridge gives the signature tight, chugging percussive definition.
