Your JCM900 is ideal for this tone—it's the exact Marshall voicing that defined 90s alternative rock. The Les Paul Goldtop originals and your PRS SE Custom 24 both run humbuckers, so no output compensation needed. Gain at 5 gives that tight Weezer-esque crunch without spilling into hard rock territory. Mids pushed to 7 to cut through the mix against that dominant synth riff. Rolling tone knob to 7 tames the PRS's slightly brighter voicing versus a vintage PAF.
