Why these settings

The Katana Artist Brown amp type captures the tight cascaded gain structure of the Peavey 5150 used on Allegiance. To follow double-gain prevention with the internal Screamer boost active, the amp gain is kept low at 2 while the pedal provides front-end attack and mid tightening. Mids and treble are pushed to 7 to deliver the cutting 2-3kHz melodic deathcore bite through the EMG Hot Rod bridge pickup.

PRO TIPAnchor your palm mute right over the Floyd Rose saddle bridge break-point and use aggressive, strict alternate picking to get the signature Zack Ohren production attack on the fast 16th-note galloping riffs.
