RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; place in front to tighten the low-end cut
Your Peavey 6505+ is the exact core amp architecture used on the record, so the voicing match is spot-on. Because your Schecter C-1 Hellraiser carries high-output active EMG 81 pickups, keep the Lead Pre-Gain dialed at 6 to prevent muddiness and flub. On the 6505+ faceplate, keep the Resonance at 5 and Presence at 6 to lock in tight palm-mutes without unwanted sub-bass rumble. Clean intro/bridge: switch to the Rhythm channel with the Crunch button off and pick lightly near the neck.
