Essential for tight palm-mutes and cutting string noise at high gain
Mesa Boogie DC-10 is mid-forward with thick saturation; Fender Mustang's Metal amp type is more scooped. Bass pushed to 9 (vs original 8) to compensate for Mustang's thinner low-end, mids at 5 for aggression without muddiness. Your Jackson JS32's passive humbuckers have less output than Root's EMG 81, so gain stays at 8 to maintain saturation without fizz.
