Pohoda amp settings — Harley Benton W10
The Kabát guitar tone for “Pohoda”, dialed in for a Harley Benton W10 with a Harley Benton DC 500 vintage. Studio version, Suma Sumárum (2001)
Gibson Explorer / Les Paul into Marshall JCM900 / DSL / Mesa Boogie heads with 4x12 Celestion V30 cabs
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 6 |
| Bass | 5 |
| Treble | 6 |
| Master | 6 |
The original relies on a high-wattage Marshall/Mesa tube head pushed into heavy British crunch with a prominent midrange cut. The Harley Benton HB-10G/W10 is a small practice solid-state amp with only Gain, Bass, and Treble controls (no mid, presence, or reverb knobs), so engage the drive switch and set gain to 6 for musical saturation without turning overly buzzy. Keep bass balanced at 5 so the small 6-inch speaker does not flap out, with treble at 6 to mimic the bridge humbucker bite of Krulich's Gibson Explorer.
