Why these settings

The Blackstar ID:Core 20 V3 uses a single ISF EQ knob rather than individual Bass, Middle, and Treble controls, so those fields are omitted. Setting the amp voice to OD2 delivers the cascaded modern high-gain character of the original 6505/Diezel tracking, while turning the ISF to 7 tightens the low-end thump and adds upper-mid aggression. Your Jackson JS22 humbuckers naturally push sufficient output for Drop-C palm muting without requiring an external boost pedal.

PRO TIPTune to Drop C (C-G-C-F-A-D) and strike your heavy palm-mutes right against the bridge saddles with a stiff 1.0mm+ pick to keep the low C note articulate rather than flubby.
