Pray for Plagues amp settings — Boss Katana 50 MkII

01ML-2 Metal Core
This is your primary gain source. The ML-2's scooped voicing is ideal for Deathcore chugs. Run into amp's CLEAN channel for clarity.
With the ML-2 providing all your gain, the Katana must run CLEAN (not Brown) with gain at 0 to prevent mud from double-saturation. The ML-2's inherent mid-scoop handles the Deathcore character; the Katana's EQ shapes the overall response. Your Schecter Omen 7's passive humbuckers have slightly less output than actives, so the ML-2's Dist at 8 compensates. Bass at 6 keeps the 7-string's low B tight without flub.
