The Katana 50 Gen 3 uses the Brown amp voice to mimic cranked British tube roar without external pedals. Because your Les Paul standard humbuckers have a slightly fatter low-mid response than Jared's single P-90 dogear, treble is pushed to 6 and guitar tone rolled slightly back to 8 to match his raw top-end rasp while keeping the mids dominant. Note that the Katana 50 faceplate has no presence knob, so presence is omitted.
