RECOMMENDED — not currently owned (engage built-in Katana Compressor in Boss Tone Studio if available)
Nile Rodgers recorded straight into the studio board (DI) with outboard compression, not through a traditional tube amp. The Katana 50 MkII Clean channel provides pristine headroom; keep gain very low at 2, pull bass back to 4 to prevent low-end boom on 16th-note strums, and boost treble to 8 for that signature glass snap. All your owned overdrive and modulation pedals (TS9DX, OD-1X, BF-3, DD-3) must be bypassed to keep the signal 100% dry and unclipped.
