Why these settings

The Katana 100 MkII Brown voicing provides the tight, modern British/European high-gain saturation of Adam Jones's Diezel VH4 Channel 3. Pushing the midrange to 7 captures the focused punch of his blended Marshall Super Bass and DOD FX40B mid-boost, while keeping the Quantum humbuckers on the bridge pickup delivers tight low-end tracking for the Drop-D riffs. For the clean intro and verses, roll your guitar volume down to 4 or switch to the Acoustic/Clean amp model with the onboard delay engaged.

PRO TIPAdam Jones's signature heavy attack relies heavily on aggressive, heavy downpicking near the bridge saddle and tight palm-muting right at the bridge line to give the low Drop D power chords their distinct percussive thud.
