Why these settings

The Fender Frontman 10G lacks a mid control and its small 6-inch speaker cannot handle heavy preamp gain without muddying out, so keep the amp on its clean setting with moderate gain. Use the OD300 in distortion mode to generate the aggressive Marshall-style thrash clipping, and roll the Strat bridge tone knob back slightly to tame single-coil ice-pick frequencies.

PRO TIPUse tight palm-muting right against the bridge saddles with aggressive, angled downpicking to get the sharp percussive chug typical of Dave Mustaine's rhythm style.
