Why these settings

The Katana 100 MkII's Lead amp type provides the thick, modern cascaded preamp saturation of Linde's Dual Rectifier. Treble and presence are dialed back to tame digital high-end fizz and replicate the dark, smooth V30-loaded 4x12 cabinet on the record. Mids are kept at 6 to maintain wall-of-sound fullness without becoming overly scooped.

PRO TIPRoll your guitar tone knob back slightly to around 7 or 8 on the bridge humbucker to round off the attack click and capture Linde Lindström's signature smooth, dark gothic rhythm sound.
