Enable the Code's built-in Stomp overdrive block in front of the JCM800 model to tighten low-end and boost single-coil saturation
The PRS SE Silver Sky single coils are thinner and brighter than the humbuckers used on Widow's Weeds, so bass is pushed to 7 and treble is rolled back to 5. The Marshall Code 50's internal JCM800 model is boosted by the onboard Stomp overdrive to reach the aggressive gothic metal gain without needing external pedals. Tone on the guitar is pulled to 8 to shave off excessive single-coil top-end bite.
