Why these settings

The PRS SE 85/15 'S' bridge humbucker has clear treble and punchy output that fits this early-2000s Arnold Lanni production perfectly. Using the GP-200's Californian Dual model boosted by the Green OD with zero drive provides the tight, modern-voiced Rectifier rhythm heard on the record without getting muddy. Keep mids slightly scooped at 4 on the amp block while presence adds the requisite top-end sizzle. Clean verse: bypass the Green OD and switch to a clean amp block with bridge+middle coil-split.

PRO TIPDig in hard near the bridge with a thick pick (1.0mm+) on downstrokes to get the immediate, percussive chug defining the intro and chorus wall-of-sound.
