RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. Essential for tight nu-metal palm mutes without flub. Boss NS-2 or ISP Decimator works.
Your ENGL Screamer 335 is tighter and more mid-focused than a Rectifier, which is naturally scooped and loose. Drop mids to 4 to approximate the Recto scoop, but keep bass at 6 (not maxed) because ENGL's low-end is already tighter — a Recto at bass 8 would equal your bass at 6. Your Strat's single coils are brighter and lower output than Wes's PRS humbuckers, so roll tone to 7 to tame the ice-pick highs and push gain +1 to compensate for the output difference.
