Why these settings

The Vox AC15C1 lacks a dedicated mid knob on the Top Boost channel and cannot natively produce modern Mesa Dual Rectifier high-gain saturation. Push the Top Boost channel volume to 9 and cut the Tone Cut control to keep the highs thick, but add a dedicated modern metal distortion pedal into the Normal channel for the authentic crushing German industrial tone. Your Jackson King V's hot bridge humbucker provides the necessary output to hit the front end hard.

PRO TIPTune down to Drop C (C-G-C-F-A-D) and anchor your picking palm firmly over the bridge saddles to get the razor-sharp, percussive chug defining the main riff.
