Why these settings

The Spark's Metal 2000 model voices the Mesa Rectifier's scooped, high-gain character. Gain at 7 captures the saturated chunk without mud—Rectos compress early. Mid scooped to 3 matches the nu-metal scoop but not zeroed to retain note definition. Bass at 7 for the thick low-end thump; your PRS humbuckers have similar output to Delson's D-Sonic equipped PRS.

PRO TIPPalm-mute HARD and pick aggressively near the bridge for that percussive Linkin Park chunk—the tone is tight and rhythmic, not loose and droning. The 6/8 time signature means every muted hit needs to snap.
