Why these settings

The Katana 50 MkII lacks the physical Marshall Guv'nor pedal, so the Lead amp type with onboard booster engaged supplies the thick Marshall JTM45/Guv'nor saturation directly. Pushing the mids to 8 replicates Moore's vocal, singing sustain while keeping treble at 5 tames the ES-335's semi-hollow high end. The Katana 50 panel has no presence control, so presence is null.

PRO TIPGary Moore achieved his signature singing 'woman tone' sustain on the neck humbucker by rolling the guitar tone knob back slightly to around 7-8 and leaning hard into wide, rapid vibrato to keep notes blooming into harmonic feedback.
