The Katana 50 MkII uses the Crunch voice to replicate Billie Joe's modded Marshall Plexi bark without excessive fizz. Because a standard Stratocaster bridge single-coil is thinner and brighter than Billie Joe's angled JB humbucker, mids are boosted to 7 and the guitar tone knob is pulled to 9 to add body and tame harsh highs. The Katana 50 MkII lacks a physical presence knob on its panel, so that parameter is omitted.
