Why these settings

The PRS SE Standard 24-08 humbuckers deliver tight clarity in low tunings; run both mini-toggles down in full humbucking mode on the bridge pickup. The Marshall JMP-1 OD2 voicing relies on a slight mid-scoop with pushed bass and high presence, so the TS block tightens the lower frequencies before they hit the UK 900 model. Reverb is set to 0 to keep the heavy staccato riffing bone-dry and percussive.

PRO TIPTune the guitar to Drop C# (C#-G#-C#-F#-A#-D#) and dig hard into the bottom strings with a heavy pick (1.0mm+) right against the bridge saddles to get Stephen Carpenter's signature percussive snap.
