Why these settings

To avoid muddy double-gain, the Champion 40 is set to its clean channel with gain low so your Big Muff provides the authentic stoner fuzz. Treble is dialed down slightly on both the amp and guitar to tame the bright single-coil bridge tone and mimic Michael Amott's dark, heavy vintage Gibson humbucker voicing. The Champion 40 lacks a dedicated mid and presence control, so these fields are set to null.

PRO TIPRoll the guitar tone knob down to around 7-8 on your bridge humbucker to darken the attack and reproduce Amott's heavy Sabbath-inspired wooly low-mid push.
