The Pantera guitar tone for “Trust megadeth”, dialed in for a Boss Katana 50 MkII with a Epiphone Les Paul Classic. Studio version, Cryptic Writings (1997)
Marshall JCM800 / Custom Audio Amplifiers 3+ SE preamp into Marshall power amps, Jackson King V / Kelly with Seymour Duncan pickups

| Master | 5 |
The Katana 50 MkII Brown voicing provides the hot-rodded Marshall/CAA saturation used on Cryptic Writings. Treble is pushed to 7 to retain Dave Mustaine's aggressive pick attack against the warmer, darker output of the Les Paul Classic humbuckers. Presence is null because the Katana 50 MkII faceplate does not feature a dedicated presence control.
