Why these settings

The Katana 100 MkII Brown voice accurately replicates the Peavey 5150 high-gain core used on Keepers of the Faith. Because your Schecter Hellraiser C-7 is loaded with active EMG pickups, keep amp gain around 7 to avoid mush and push midrange to 7 to slice through heavy hardcore palm-mutes. The Katana 100 has a physical Presence knob on the top panel, which is set to 6 for top-end bite.

PRO TIPUse heavy downpicking close to the bridge saddle and anchor your palm firmly over the lower strings for explosive, percussive chugs without low-end flub.
