The Katana 50 MkII lacks a physical presence knob so that control is left null. On the Crunch amp type, setting gain around 6 provides the tight, articulate drive heard on the track without turning muddy under your Les Paul humbuckers. Treble is pushed to 7 and mids to 6 to emulate the modern top-end sheen of the studio production while keeping chords clear and aggressive.
