Why these settings

The Katana 50 MkII is placed on the Clean amp type with gain down at 2 because the owned Gamma Hades pedal acts as the dedicated high-gain preamp distortion source. To emulate Muhammed Suiçmez's surgical ENGL Savage voicing, the Hades pedal tone and Katana mids are pushed high to replicate the cutting upper-mid harmonic clarity without tubby low-end. Presence is null because the Katana 50 MkII faceplate lacks a physical presence knob.

PRO TIPTighten your picking hand directly over the bridge saddles using stiff, sharp picks (1.5mm+) to achieve the percussive, machine-like staccato attack essential for Necrophagist's sweep-picked and palm-muted runs.
