Why these settings

The Brown amp type on Katana emulates the scooped, saturated Rectifier character Delson used. Mids at 4 recreates the nu-metal scoop; treble at 7 with boost engaged gives the grinding high-end attack. Your PRS Custom 24 matches Delson's guitar exactly — no compensation needed for pickup output.

PRO TIPTune to Drop C# (D standard then drop the low string to C#) — this tuning is non-negotiable for the riff's tightness and low-end thump. Pick right over the bridge pickup with your palm muting firmly anchored for maximum chunk.
