01Katana Onboard Parametric EQ (Mid EQ Section)
Use Boss Tone Studio to access the parametric mid EQ — boost a narrow band around 800Hz-1kHz to create the nasal/parked-wah character
The Katana Crunch channel approximates the Rectifier's tighter voicing better than Brown. Bass dropped to 2 because the original tone deliberately cuts low end for that constrained feel. Mid pushed to 8 to nail the signature nasal slot — the Pacifica's Alnico V humbucker in the bridge will help, but rolling tone to 6 tames the single-coil-like brightness of the coil-split option if engaged.
