Why these settings

Original used high-output humbuckers; your Strat's single coils have less output and more high-end, so I dropped treble by 1 from the original and raised gain by 1 to compensate. Mids scooped to 4 to match the Rectifier's signature mid-cut voicing. Brown channel on Katana approximates the Rectifier's saturated preamp character better than Lead or Crunch.

PRO TIPPalm mute aggressively right at the bridge saddles — DeLonge's percussive attack on the verses comes from extremely tight muting and downstrokes only; let the notes ring slightly longer on the chorus power chords for contrast.
