Why these settings

Your JS22 has passive high-output humbuckers vs Root's active EMGs — increase gain by +1 from a true EMG-loaded rig to compensate for the lower compression and output. The GE150's Rectifier model gets you close to the DC-10's scooped, aggressive character. Keep mids at 4 (slightly scooped) but not lower — the original had definition in the low-mids for chunk.

PRO TIPRoot's attack on this track comes from extremely precise downpicking with the pick angled slightly — dig in hard right at the bridge for that percussive 'click' on each palm-muted note. The filter effect is only on the clean-ish verse groove; bypass it completely when the heavy riff drops.
