Why these settings

The Donner HUSH-X bridge humbucker delivers a direct, focused output that matches the tight Mani Sharma studio production. On the NUX MG-300 MKII, the Fireman (Friedman) or Plexi 100 Lead model delivers the required modern bite without harshness. Pushing a TS-style overdrive with low drive and high level into the amp tightens the palm mutes for the signature theme riff.

PRO TIPMute firmly with the palm right against the bridge saddles on the rhythmic staccato hits to get the percussive, cinematic attack heard throughout the track.
