That Band (From "Bocchi the Rock") amp settings — Boss Katana 50 MkII

The Sapphire guitar tone for “That Band (From "Bocchi the Rock")”, dialed in for a Boss Katana 50 MkII with a Charvel Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 1. Studio version, Bocchi the Rock! anime soundtrack (2022) — Kessoku Band's energetic J-rock anthem

Original rig

The Bocchi the Rock! guitar tones were created by session musicians using a combination of Marshall-style British crunch amps, Fender-style cleans, and medium-gain overdrive pedals. Gotoh Hitori's in-universe gear is a Gibson Les Paul Custom into a Marshall-style amp with TS-style overdrive for the punchy, mid-forward J-rock tone

Punchy mid-forward crunch with tight palm mutes, bright upper-mid bite for cutting rhythm work, and controlled saturation — classic J-rock energy without excessive gain

Why these settings

The Katana Crunch channel approximates the Marshall-style British voicing of the original. Your Charvel's bridge humbucker is hotter than a Les Paul's PAF-style pickups, so gain is set moderate at 6 rather than 7-8. Mid pushed to 7 for that J-rock punch that cuts through; bass kept at 4 to maintain tight palm mutes without mud. The BD-2 adds the TS-style push the original uses — set to low gain for boost duty, not distortion.

PRO TIPJ-rock palm muting sits right on the edge of the bridge saddles — anchor your palm lightly and use aggressive downstrokes with the pick angled slightly for that percussive 'chunk' on the 8th-note chugs; rolling tone knob to 8 tames the Charvel's bright ceramic magnet while keeping articulation.
