Why these settings

The Marshall MG30CFX lacks a physical presence control, so presence is nulled. The OD-2 channel supplies the modern high-gain bite necessary for the fast thrash gallops. Keeping mids at 6 prevents the solid-state preamp from getting hollow and fizzy while treble at 7 matches the sharp 1990 Rumbo Recorders top end.

PRO TIPAnchor your palm tight against the bridge saddles and use strictly aggressive, angled downstrokes for the verse riffs to achieve Mustaine's percussive attack.
