Why these settings

The Katana 50 MkII uses the Lead voice with gain kept at 6 to prevent low-end flub on the low strings. Using your GE-7 in front of the amp cuts muddy subs (100Hz/200Hz) while pushing the 800Hz-1.6kHz range and overall level, emulating Fredrik Thordendal's classic TC preamp tightening trick into a high-gain front end. Keep the amp completely bone dry with no reverb.

PRO TIPPick aggressively with a heavy, sharp pick (1.5mm+) right next to the bridge saddles, and clamp down on your palm muting to achieve that signature mechanical, percussive Meshuggah staccato attack.
