Andreas Kisser's core tone relies on a high-gain Mesa TriAxis preamp into a Strategy 500 power section. On the Katana 50 Gen 3, the Brown amp character delivers the saturated low-end punch and harmonic compression of a cranked tube rig. The onboard Booster is engaged with moderate gain to tighten the low-end palm mutes, while slightly scooping the mids to 4 captures that aggressive late-90s Sepultura rhythm attack.
