Why these settings

Your Squier has passive single coils vs the original's hot active humbuckers - compensated by pushing the TS Drive level to 8 and keeping amp gain at 7 rather than higher to avoid fizzy breakup. The RECTO model gets closest to the 6505's tight saturation. Mid at 3 matches KSE's signature scoop while bass 6 and treble 7 maintain definition on the smaller speakers.

PRO TIPPalm mute directly over the bridge saddles, not further up the strings - this is critical for the percussive 'chunk' on the verse riffs; the tighter your muting position, the more the Zoom's gate can work cleanly without cutting your attack.
