Start with Active/high-output humbuckers (Fishman Fluence Modern) for tight low-tuned chug; neck pickup for warm ambient cleans, the amp EQ above (gain 6, bass 4.5, mid 6.5, treble 6.5, presence 6, reverb 3), and Tube Screamer-style boost (tightens the low end), High-gain amp model: Revv Generator / 5150 (NDSP Archetype: Gojira / Quad Cortex), Noise gate (ISP Decimator) for the tight chug, Reverb + delay + modulation for the ambient clean sections. Then let GuitarToneAdapt compensate for the guitar, amp and pedals you actually own so it sits like the record.
