I know he runs through an Eden setup, but anyway I could get my GK to sound close?

That tone, to me, is more about Dirk's Warwick Streamer than the amp. Lots of mids, tight bass, slightly muted top end and a really bass-forward mix.

Depends. Do you have a Warwick Streamer?

A lot of that tone (which I very much dig) is driven by the tone of that bass.

Outside of that, it's a warmer tone than I associate with my GK 1001RB-II.

Assuming that's the amp you have, try dialing back the presence, don't use the contour to scoop, boost the low mids a bit and dial back the treble.

Edit: Looks like silky smoove beat me to some of my points.

I run a Spector through the head, and have my EQ pretty much set that way. Guess it really is the bass hahah, thought my Spector would be in the approximate ballpark.

Forgot to mention its a 700rbii

Slightly off topic, I haven't been following this band at all and the couple of songs I knew were just boring rock songs, but I listened through a couple of those songs from the same album as the song OP posted and was very surprised. In a good way.
