Dying In Your Arms amp settings — NUX MG-30
The Trivium guitar tone for “Dying In Your Arms”, dialed in for a NUX MG-30 with a Jackson JS22 Dinky. Studio version, Ascendancy (2005) - Main rhythm guitar tone
Peavey 5150 / 6505 (Lead Channel) + Marshall 1960BV 4x12 Cab with Celestion Vintage 30s + Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer (clean boost) + Gibson Les Paul Custom / Dean ML with EMG 81/85 pickups

01GATE Block (Noise Gate)
Set early in chain to clamp high-gain noise and tighten staccato chugs
02EFX Block: T Scream (Tube Screamer TS9)
Classic metalcore boost into the high-gain amp model to tighten low end and add attack
The studio tone relies on a classic 5150 pushed by a TS9 with zero drive and high level. On the NUX MG-30, use the high-gain Fireman HBE amp block with the T Scream model in front to replicate this tight front-end push. Since the Jackson JS22 passive humbuckers are slightly less hot and compressed than EMG 81s, the amp model gain is set to 6 with mids boosted to 7 to maintain chunk and cutting upper harmonics.
