Why these settings

The Katana 50 MkII Brown voice captures the blended Mesa Rectifier and PRS Archon high-gain architecture, while the OD-3 acts strictly as a low-drive boost to replicate Tremonti's TS808 front-end tightening. The Katana 50 MkII physical faceplate lacks a presence control, so top-end articulation is balanced via treble at 6 and the OD-3 tone at 5. Clean fingerpicked sections: switch the Katana to Acoustic or Clean voice and engage the CE-2W and RV-6.

PRO TIPTremonti tunes the low string uniquely on this track (open F# voicing relative to standard down-tuning); use heavy, aggressive downstrokes right near the bridge saddles with the high-output bridge humbucker to retain definition under high gain.
