The Phil Wickham's guitar tone for “This is amazing grace”, dialed in for a Boss Katana 50 MkII with a Ibanez SR500E. Studio version, 'This Is Amazing Grace' single (2013)
Fender Deluxe Reverb / Morgan AC-20 style amp, Fender Stratocaster or Telecaster with single coils, chorus, slapback delay, light overdrive (Timmy/Morning Glory style)
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 3 |
| Bass | 4 |
| Mid | 5 |
| Treble | 6 |
| Presence | 6 |
| Reverb | 4 |
| Master | 5 |
01Boss Katana Built-in Mod (Chorus)
Use BOSS Tone Studio to enable CE-1 Chorus or Tri-Chorus; set subtle and slow
02Boss Katana Built-in Delay (Digital)
Set to approximately 300ms slapback; use Digital Delay type in Tone Studio
03Boss Katana Built-in Booster (Blues Driver type)
RECOMMENDED for dynamic chorus sections — enable Blues Driver in Tone Studio, use as clean boost with minimal drive
The Katana's Clean channel approximates the Fender Deluxe Reverb voicing. Bass is pulled back from the original's 4.5 to 4 because the SR500E bass pickups already emphasize low-end heavily—compensating to avoid mud. Treble and presence are pushed to recover the chimey sparkle that single-coil Strats naturally provide but your bass humbuckers lack.
