Why these settings

The NUX BT MK II has the Dual Rect and Brit 800 amp models which nail this mid-focused aggression. Bass is kept at 4 (not higher) to prevent mud during fast palm-muting—the original tone has tight, controlled low end. Mids pushed to 7 for the characteristic punch that cuts through the mix. The built-in T Screamer model is essential: low drive, high level tightens the front end and adds pick definition.

PRO TIPPalm-mute directly over the bridge saddles, not further up the strings—this gives the tight 'chunk' sound rather than a flubby thud. Pick aggressively with downstrokes and let the noise gate do the work on the stops.
