Why these settings

Your PRS SE Custom 24 humbuckers run hotter than Mayer's single coils, so gain dropped from typical 5-6 to 4 and treble kept conservative at 6. Split the humbuckers if your guitar has coil-tap for closer single-coil response. Mid boosted to 7 to capture that vocal-like warmth Mayer gets from the Two Rock. Volume knob at 8 tames the humbucker output and smooths the top end.

PRO TIPUse your picking hand dynamics aggressively—Mayer's tone breathes because the Two Rock responds to touch. Pick softly for the verse shimmer, dig in for the chorus swells. Position your picking hand closer to the neck for that round, warm attack.
