The Katana 50 MkII Brown amp type provides the modern 5150/Marshall high-gain saturation Sabaton uses in the studio. Because the Epiphone Les Paul Classic has passive humbuckers compared to Sabaton's hotter active EMGs, the onboard TS boost cuts flubby bass before the preamp while mid and treble are pushed for percussive bite. Note that the Katana 50 MkII panel does not feature a physical Presence knob, so it is omitted.
