Hotel Room amp settings — Boss Katana mini
The Ax and the Hatchetmen guitar tone for “Hotel Room”, dialed in for a Boss Katana mini with a Ibanez Rg470dx-tmn. Studio version, Constant Change EP (2025)
Fender Stratocaster / Jazzmaster into clean Fender combo (Twin Reverb/Deluxe Reverb) with transparent overdrive and spring reverb
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 4 |
| Bass | 5 |
| Mid | 6 |
| Treble | 7 |
| Master | 6 |
01Transparent Overdrive (e.g. Morning Glory / Soul Food)
RECOMMENDED — not owned
02Spring Reverb
RECOMMENDED — not owned (Katana Mini has built-in Delay, set Time/Feedback low for ambience)
The Katana Mini's Crunch channel dialed low replicates the punchy edge-of-breakup headroom of the original Fender tube tracks. Treble is pushed to 7 to inject single-coil jangle into your hotter Ibanez humbucker/single setup, while presence and reverb are omitted as they do not exist on the Katana Mini faceplate. Using the split neck+middle position thins out the humbucker warmth to nail the clean indie bounce.
