The Katana's Brown channel emulates the tight, high-gain Marshall/5150 response needed here. Your Ibanez GRG131DX has a passive humbucker that's slightly lower output than Paget's EMGs, so gain pushed to 8 compensates. Mids scooped to 4 (vs the 6505's natural mid-forward voicing) because the Katana Brown is already slightly darker—this keeps the palm mutes tight without mud. Presence at 7 restores the cut EMGs naturally provide.
