EVH 5150 III / Peavey 6505+ into Mesa 4x12 cab, Ibanez LACS / Jackson guitars with high-output passive humbuckers, Tube Screamer / Maxon OD808 boost
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |

| Gain | 7 |
| Bass | 5 |
| Mid | 6 |
| Treble | 7 |
| Reverb | 0 |
| Master | 5 |
01Built-in Booster (Tube Screamer / T-Scream model)
Engage the Katana's onboard Booster block set to T-Scream (Green LED default) to tighten the low-end like the studio 5150+OD808 setup.
The Katana 50 MkII lacks a dedicated Presence knob, so treble is pushed to 7 to replicate the aggressive top-end cut of an EVH 5150. Running the Brown amp voice with the internal booster tightens the low-end response of your RG550's bridge humbucker without turning muddy. Bass is kept moderate at 5 to keep fast chugging defined through the 1x12 open-back enclosure.
