Why these settings

Katana Mini has no presence knob or channel switching — Brown amp type is the tightest voice for this. Original Mesa Rectifier is mid-scooped modern; Katana Mini's Brown is Marshall-flavored (more mids), so mid is cut to 3 and bass pushed to 8 to restore the thump. Gain maxed because the Mini's power scaling is low-wattage — you need full saturation to approximate Rectifier compression. Your Jackson's passive humbuckers are lower output than Borland's Seymour Duncan Invaders, but bridge pickup + tone wide open gets you close.

PRO TIPThis tone lives in the right hand — palm-mute every note hard until the chord hits, then release the mute for full chord sustain. Pick closer to the bridge for percussive attack. Tune to Drop B or Drop C (closer to original) if your .010s can handle it; if not, standard tuning loses the low-end weight but the picking technique still works.
