01Katana Onboard Wah (Cry Baby type)

Use the Katana's built-in wah via Tone Studio or expression pedal — essential for the funky chromatic riff sections described in the production

Pedal Position 7 · Type 5 · Level 6
Why these settings

Your Strat is ideal for this tone — the original uses bright single coils for that snappy skank attack. The Katana Clean channel replicates the Fender-style platform. Treble pushed to 8 and mids at 7 capture the 'wound right up' description from the production review. Low gain keeps it percussive for reggae chop technique.

PRO TIPFor authentic reggae skank, mute the strings immediately after each downstroke with your fretting hand — the tone is 90% technique. Strike on beats 2 and 4, keeping notes extremely short and percussive. Use the Katana's onboard wah for the chromatic funk riffs in the verses.
