EVH 5150 III 100W head, Schecter/ESP guitars with active EMG pickups, likely TS-style boost in front for tightness

The EVH 5150 III is a tight, mid-scooped high-gain amp. The Katana's Brown channel emulates this voicing well. Your Hellraiser's EMG 707s match the original's active pickups exactly, so no gain compensation needed. Mid pushed to 6 compensates for Brown channel's natural scoop—the original tone cuts through with upper-mid presence around 2-3kHz. Bass kept at 4 to maintain tightness on palm mutes without mud. The ML-2 is unnecessary here; the Brown channel delivers sufficient gain and the right EQ curve on its own.
