Why these settings

Because we are using the Overscream block as a front-end overdrive pedal to tighten the picking attack, the amp preamp gain is held at 2 to keep the tone punchy and clear without muddy double-gain. The 5150 model provides the massive low-end and midrange bite characteristic of Daisuke Ishiwatari metal productions. Presence is raised slightly to maintain cutting articulation through dense modern rock mixes.

PRO TIPUse heavy downward pick attack right next to the bridge saddles and keep palm mutes tight against the Floyd Rose bridge for maximum transient snap.
