Why these settings

The Spark MINI's Metal or High Gain amp model approximates the JCM800/Rectifier blend. Your Schecter Demon 6 has hot humbuckers similar in output to the Les Paul Custom, so no gain compensation needed. Mids pushed to 7 to replicate the JCM800's mid-forward bark that cuts through the mix; bass kept moderate at 5 to maintain palm-mute tightness without flub.

PRO TIPThe tone on this track comes from extremely tight right-hand palm muting and precise alternate picking—keep your muting hand anchored close to the bridge saddles and attack the strings with conviction; sloppy technique will turn this into mud regardless of settings.
