'Die Banane' is uniquely an acoustic/unplugged swing track from Rock'n'Roll Realschule. Using the Katana 100 MkII's Acoustic voice alongside the JS22's split or dual-humbucker middle position strips away magnetic electric bite and simulates the woody acoustic snap of the original. Presence is bumped slightly on the Katana 100 faceplate to give the humbuckers acoustic-like top-end air.
