Why these settings

The Jaguar's vintage-voiced single-coil bridge pickup lacks the low-end punch and output of Wes Borland's humbuckers, so bass is pushed to 7 with mids slightly scooped at 4 on the Cali Dual Rectifier model. A Screamer block with zero drive and high level acts as an essential tightener to sharpen attack and prevent single-coil flub on down-tuned chugs. Clean verse: bypass the Screamer block, switch to the Jazz Clean amp model with moderate chorus.

PRO TIPWes Borland tracked this riff on a 4-string baritone tuned to C# standard (C#-F#-B-E); tune your low strings down or use heavy palm mutes right against the bridge saddles to get the signature aggressive low-end percussiveness out of short-scale Jaguar single coils.
