01Boss Katana Noise Gate (built-in)
Access via Tone Studio software - essential for tight stops in this track
02Boss ML-2 Metal Core
Use as primary dirt source; set Katana to Clean channel with gain at 2 to avoid mud from double-gain stacking
Your ESP Alexi-200 has hot passive humbuckers that will push the ML-2 hard, so I've backed off the pedal's Dist to 6 instead of maxing it. The Katana's Brown channel with boost approximates the tight EVH/Mesa high-gain response. Keep bass conservative at 4 to maintain definition in Drop G# tuning—the original is tight, not boomy.
