Why these settings

Your Schecter's Seymour Duncan HB-105 pickups are hot but not as compressed as the original EMGs, so gain stays at 8 instead of the 6 they'd use with actives. The Katana's Brown channel nails the 5150's tight low-end and aggressive upper-mids. Mids are scooped to 4 for that metalcore chunk, but not as extreme as a Rectifier scoop would be.

PRO TIPFor the iconic Parkway Drive chug, mute aggressively with the heel of your picking hand right at the bridge saddles — too far forward and you lose attack, too far back and it rings out. The tightness comes from your hands, not just the gate.
