Why these settings

The Katana 50 MkII uses the Lead amp type with the onboard T-Scream boost to replicate Matt Tuck's Peavey 6505 and TS9 combination. Because the Katana 50 lacks a physical presence knob, mid and treble are bumped slightly to match the razor-sharp bite of Duncan JB bridge humbuckers. Running the onboard boost with drive at zero cuts sub-bass flub and delivers the signature BFMV percussive palm mutes.

PRO TIPTune down to Drop C (C-G-C-F-A-D) and strike aggressively with a heavy 1.0mm+ pick close to the bridge to capture the signature 2000s Colin Richardson production attack.
