| Master | 5 |

RECOMMENDED — not currently owned
The HB-10G overdrive channel provides the necessary saturation, but its 6-inch speaker will sound thinner and buzzier than Richard Kruspe's wall of Mesa Dual Rectifiers. Keep the Bass at 6 to prevent speaker flub and push Treble to 7 to mimic the signature EMG 81 bite. When upgrading with an external high-gain pedal, switch the amp to the Clean channel and set Gain to 2. Clean intro/verse: roll guitar volume down to 3-4 on the neck single-coil.
