Why these settings

The Katana 50 MkII's Lead amp type recreates the hot-rodded Marshall Silver Jubilee preamp saturation used on the Use Your Illusion sessions. Pushing the midrange to 8 gives the Epiphone humbuckers the iconic Slash vocal body, while keeping treble at 5 avoids harsh solid-state bite. Note that presence is omitted as the Katana 50 MkII faceplate lacks a dedicated presence control.

PRO TIPSwitch to the neck pickup and roll its tone knob down to around 6 to get Slash's signature 'woman tone' flutey attack and liquid sustain during the outro bends.
