The Katana Mini's Brown voice emulates the hot-rodded Marshall Plexi used on Dookie. Because the amp features a 4-inch speaker, bass is kept moderate at 5 to prevent low-end flub while midrange is pushed to 8 to capture Billie Joe's signature cutting punk attack. The Katana Mini faceplate has no presence or reverb controls, so both are omitted.
