Why these settings

The Katana's Brown channel approximates the Rectifier's saturated American high-gain voicing but lacks the same low-end tightness. The OCD on low drive with HP mode acts as a boost to firm up the bass response, mimicking the Rectifier's silicon diode tracking. GE-7 handles the signature 800Hz scoop Wayne Static used while adding presence at 3.2kHz for that industrial razor edge. Kept gain at 7 rather than maxing it—the EMG 81 in your EC-1000 runs hot like the original rig, so saturation comes easy.

PRO TIPPalm-mute right at the bridge saddles with your pick angled slightly for maximum attack—Wayne's staccato 'robotic' riffing on this track comes from extremely precise, almost mechanical right-hand muting, not extra gain.
