Why these settings

The Frontman 10G relies on its onboard OD switch to reach metal saturation, though its small 6-inch speaker will sound thinner and buzzier than the massive studio tracking. Treble is dialed back to 5 and the Strat's tone knob to 8 to tame the single-coil bridge pickup's ice-pick frequencies against the down-tuned low B fundamental. Adding a TS9 clone in front later will dramatically tighten the low-end definition on this practice amp.

PRO TIPPick aggressively right next to the bridge saddles with a thick pick (1.14mm+) using hard palm muting on the open low string to recreate Max Cavalera's percussive, tribal attack.
