The Vox VT40X is a modeling amp without a physical presence knob, so presence is omitted. The 'US HIGAIN' model captures the thick Mesa Mark/Recto saturation of the 1990 recording while the Jackson DXMG's high-output active EMG-HZ/EMG pickups deliver an immediate, hard attack that requires holding the amp gain around 7 to avoid mush. Cutting the mids to 3 reproduces the tight crossover-thrash scoop while keeping low-end palm mutes distinct.
