Why these settings

The Code 100's JCM800 model nails Mustaine's amp. Your ESP EX-200's hot humbuckers match the Flying V output closely, so gain stays at 6 rather than pushing higher. Mid dropped to 4 for the classic Megadeth scoop—the Code's mid control is slightly more aggressive than a real JCM800, so backing off gets you there. For the clean intro arpeggios, switch to Clean Vintage model with gain at 2, bass 5, mid 5, treble 6.

PRO TIPThis song lives and dies on pick attack dynamics—use downstrokes on the chugging palm-muted sections and let the clean arpeggios ring by picking closer to the neck with lighter pressure. Tune down to Eb to match the original recording.
