RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. Critical for Rammstein's tight stops and eliminating high-gain noise between riffs. Without this, the riff endings will be muddy.

Why these settings

The MG15 is a solid-state amp with less harmonic complexity than a Rectifier, so gain is pushed to 8 to compensate for the lack of tube saturation. Mids are dropped to 3 (vs original's ~4) because the MG15's mid voicing is already present and forward—scooping further achieves the 'cold' Rammstein character. Bass is reduced to 4 (vs original's 6) because the MG15's small speaker will flub out with too much low-end, and your GRX70QA's Infinity R pickups are brighter than EMGs. Treble at 7 maintains the sharp attack. The MG15 lacks presence control, so that stays at 0.

PRO TIPTune to Drop D. Use extremely tight palm muting with your picking hand resting firmly on the bridge—the riff's power comes from controlled staccato, not sustain. Pick aggressively downward near the bridge pickup for maximum attack. The song is at 85 BPM; use a metronome and lock into the mechanical, robotic feel rather than rushing.
