Why these settings

The Fender Deluxe Reverb provides the pristine, scooped clean platform similar to Greep's Twin Reverb setup, so the RAT2 handles the distortion while the TS9 acts as a tight mid-boost. Because the ES-335's humbuckers are warmer and darker than Greep's bright single-coil attack, bass is pulled down to 4 and treble is pushed to 6 on the amp, with the TS9 Tone set high to add upper-mid cut. Clean passages: bypass the RAT2 and keep the TS9 on low boost or play straight into the Deluxe Reverb.

PRO TIPPick with a stiff, heavy pick right next to the bridge saddles using aggressive, percussive staccato wrist snaps to replicate Greep's sharp math-rock transient attack.
