Why these settings

The Katana 50 MkII lacks a physical presence control, so high-end bite is shaped via the treble knob and the onboard Screamer boost. The Brown amp type delivers the aggressive high-gain foundation of the Dual Rectifier and Bogner Uberschall blend, while humbuckers on your Les Paul provide the ideal output and thickness. Mids are kept at 6 to retain clarity and core cut during fast alternate-picked pedal-point riffs.

PRO TIPAnchor the palm of your picking hand firmly against the bridge saddle to keep the open low-D pedal tones extremely tight and staccato while letting the higher melodic notes ring clearly.
