Why these settings

Your Pyle practice amplifier features a 2-band EQ (Bass/Treble) and a simple Drive switch without a mid control or presence. Engage the Drive button with gain at 7 to capture the aggressive, modern clipping of the song's main riff without overloading the small 5-inch speaker. Keep the bass at 5 to avoid low-end flub on the practice speaker and push treble to 6 for picking attack clarity; adding a dedicated modern distortion pedal (like a Revv G3 or Boss MD-2) down the road into the clean channel will get you much closer to Jun Han's studio rig.

PRO TIPMute the open low strings sharply with your palm right at the bridge saddles between power chords to reproduce the tight, quantized modern pop-metal rhythm attack.
