Bound for the Floor amp settings — Boss Katana 100 MkII

The Local H guitar tone for “Bound for the Floor”, dialed in for a Boss Katana 100 MkII with a Spira X-400. Studio version, As Good as Dead (1996)

Original rig

Custom guitar with bass pickup splitting signal to bass amp + guitar amp simultaneously, creating power-trio illusion from a duo. Grunge-era saturated tone with stacked 5th chords and moving bass line.

Gritty mid-heavy grunge crunch with massive low-end presence, aggressive but not overly scooped

Why these settings

The Katana's Brown amp type nails the saturated Marshall-style grunge crunch Lucas achieved. The original's massive low-end came from his bass pickup/bass amp trick—compensate by pushing bass to 6 and keeping mids at 7 for that mid-90s alt-rock cut-through. No reverb; the original is bone dry and in-your-face.

PRO TIPLucas used stacked 5th chords (power chords with the octave doubled) learned from Police songs—play the main riff with your pinky adding the high octave on the G string to fatten the sound and approximate his dual-amp thickness from a single rig.
