Why these settings

Katana Lead channel substitutes for the Randall RG100ES solid-state grind. Gain pushed to 9 (vs original 8) to compensate for the missing cascaded EQ stages (MXR 6-band + Furman PQ4) that Dime used to add preamp saturation. Mid scooped to 3 to mimic the V-shape EQ curve (original cut 400Hz heavily). Your Jackson's higher-output bridge humbucker gets you closer to the Dean DMT pickups than a passive-vintage humbucker would—no compensation needed there.

PRO TIPPalm mute with your hand floating slightly off the bridge (not resting on it)—Dime's Floyd Rose setup forced this technique, and it's the key to that percussive, industrial chug instead of a muted thud.
