Aizo amp settings — Boss Katana 50 MkII
The King Gnu guitar tone for “Aizo”, dialed in for a Boss Katana 50 MkII with a Squier Affinity Stratocaster. Studio version, AIZO single (2026) — Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 opening theme
Daiki Tsuneta typically uses Fender Twin Reverb / Deluxe Reverb, Fender Jazzmaster/Telecaster with humbuckers, Tube Screamer-style drive, and various modulation. This track features aggressive mid-forward distorted rhythm tones and searing lead lines.

01Katana Booster (built-in)
Use Boss Tone Studio to access the internal Booster block — set to 'Treble Boost' or 'Clean Boost' type to push the Brown channel into tighter saturation
02Tube Screamer (TS9) — RECOMMENDED
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. A TS-style pedal into the Brown channel would nail the tight, mid-focused punch Tsuneta gets. Budget option: Boss SD-1 or Behringer TO800.
Your Strat's single coils are brighter and lower output than Tsuneta's humbucker-equipped guitars, so I pushed mids to 7 (compensating for the Strat's natural mid-scoop) and kept treble at 5 to avoid ice-pick highs. The Brown channel on Katana approximates the saturated Fender-pushed-hard tone. Rolling tone knob to 7 warms the bridge pickup slightly.
