Why these settings

The Brown amp type delivers the aggressive high-gain harmonic structure of Brad Delson's Dual Rectifier. We pull mids down to 4 and push bass and treble to 7 to replicate the classic nu-metal scooped wall of sound while keeping the Les Paul's bridge humbucker tight and punchy. Presence is omitted as the Katana 50 MkII lacks a physical presence knob.

PRO TIPBrad Delson's explosive chorus entry relies on aggressive palm-muted downpicking with the side of the picking hand anchored tightly against the bridge saddles to achieve sharp, percussive chugs.
