Why these settings

The GM108's analog switches are set to 'BRIT' amp and 'HI G' mode to replicate Mustaine's hot-rodded Marshall preamp structure. Because your Player Strat uses single-coil pickups compared to the hot Seymour Duncan JB humbucker on the original track, the guitar tone knob is pulled back slightly to 8 to tame high-end harshness, while mid is boosted to 7 to inject body into the thinner single-coil attack. The GM108 has no presence or reverb knobs, so those controls are omitted.

PRO TIPAnchor your palm firmly against the bridge saddles and pick with a stiff, heavy pick angled slightly downward to get the razor-sharp percussive bite essential for Dave Mustaine's tight 16th-note thrash rhythms.
