Why these settings

The Mooer Hornet 30W Black lacks a presence control, so its high-end bite is driven directly from the treble knob at 8. We select the PLX 100 (or J800 if preferred) high-gain Marshall model to mimic Mustaine's hot-rodded British stack. The Powersound ceramic humbuckers on the Cort X100 provide sufficient high-output push into the preamp without requiring an external boost.

PRO TIPAnchor your palm mute firmly against the bridge saddles to keep the fast 16th-note galloping articulate and prevent low-end flub.
