01Nux Brown Distortion
Primary distortion source into front of amp
Because the Nux Brown distortion pedal is your primary high-gain drive source, the Katana is set to its Clean amp type with gain kept at 2 to avoid muddy double-gain stacking. To compensate for the Fender Mustang's thinner single-coil bridge pickup compared to Tom DeLonge's high-output Seymour Duncan JB humbucker, the amp bass is bumped up to 6 while treble is set to 7 to deliver the aggressive late-90s Rectifier top-end sizzle. The Katana 50 MkII lacks a physical presence knob on its faceplate, so presence is nulled.
