Why these settings

Original Mesa Rectifier is naturally scooped with tight low-end; the Katana Brown channel approximates the JCM800-style voicing which is more mid-forward, so I pushed mids to 7 to compensate for the Rectifier's scoop while keeping bass at 4 to retain tightness. Your Les Paul's PAF-style humbuckers are warmer and lower-output than the Invader, so gain stays at 7 to match saturation and treble drops slightly to avoid harshness.

PRO TIPPalm-mute aggressively on the low notes and lift completely for the open power chords—DeLonge's tone relies heavily on that percussive mute-to-open dynamic, not just the amp settings.
