Why these settings

The ID:Core 20 V3 uses a single ISF EQ filter knob rather than individual Bass, Middle, Treble, and Presence controls, so those specific knobs are set to null. Setting the ISF control clockwise to around 9 delivers the aggressive, upper-mid British bark of Mick Mars' cranked Marshall. Super Crunch provides the heavy 80s tube saturation needed without turning the tone muddy.

PRO TIPMick Mars hits his power chords hard right next to the bridge saddles with a heavy pick; use precise palm muting on the low E string to keep the iconic opening riff tight and percussive.
