01Katana FX Block (Poly Octave / Octave)
Onboard Katana FX block set to Pitch Shifter/Poly Octave to replicate the iconic POG octave-up slide double

Onboard Katana Delay block set to dotted eighth / ambient repeats
03Katana Reverb Block (Hall / Plate)
Onboard Katana Reverb block dialed for a deep, washed-out dream pop decay
The Katana 50 MkII Clean channel provides the transparent Fender-style headroom Alex Scally uses to anchor his slide tone without preamp clipping. We utilize the Katana's internal Poly Octave, Delay, and deep Reverb effects blocks so you do not need external pedals to capture the soaring, octave-doubled space ambience. Presence is set to null because the physical Katana 50 MkII faceplate lacks a presence knob.
