Why these settings

The Brown amp type provides the saturated hot-rodded British roar needed for the Waking the Fallen sound. Setting the internal Katana Booster to a classic TS overdrive curve with zero drive and high level cuts sub-bass flub and sharpens the iconic gallop riff. Bass is kept at 4 to prevent low-end smearing on rapid palm mutes.

PRO TIPAnchor your palm firmly against the bridge saddles on the open Drop D chugs, but release tension instantly during the fast single-note arpeggiated run to maintain sharp note separation.
