Thank You amp settings — Boss Katana gen 3
The Evans Blue guitar tone for “Thank You”, dialed in for a Boss Katana gen 3 with a Schecter C-6. Studio version, The Melody and the Energetic Nature of Volume (2006)
Parker Fly guitar with DiMarzio pickups, Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, Line 6 Pod XT Pro for layering, Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor. Producer Adam Dutkiewicz (Killswitch Engage) shaped the heavy post-grunge/alt-metal tone with tight modern gain and layered guitars.
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |

| Gain | 7 |
| Bass | 5 |
| Mid | 6 |
| Treble | 7 |
| Presence | 7 |
| Reverb | 0 |
| Master | 5 |
The original Rectifier tone is tighter and more mid-present than typical scooped metal. Katana Lead without Variation delivers similar modern saturation. Mid at 6 preserves the chunky aggression rather than scooping—Evans Blue sits closer to Killswitch's production style than nu-metal. Presence at 7 adds pick attack clarity without fizz. Contour OFF to avoid unwanted mid-cut.
