01Onboard Booster (Blues Drive / TS-style)
Engage the onboard BOOSTER to tighten the low-end flub and sharpen the percussive attack before the preamp.
The SG Standard's 60s Burstbuckers deliver focused upper-mids, so the Katana's middle control is scooped down to 3 while bass is pushed to 8 to mimic Munky's massive 7-string cabinet thump. Using the onboard Booster with Drive set low and Level high tightens up the high-gain Brown channel, delivering the surgical attack required for the percussive low A riffs without turning the bottom end to mud. The recording is dry, so reverb is kept at 0 to preserve punch and note separation. Clean verse: bypass the Booster, switch to CLEAN amp type with tone rolled to 7.
