Get back amp settings — Boss Katana-110 Bass

The The beatles guitar tone for “Get back”, dialed in for a Boss Katana-110 Bass with a Epiphone ES-335. Studio version, Let It Be / rooftop performance (January 1969)

Original rig

1965 Epiphone Casino (bridge pickup, stripped finish) → Fender Twin Reverb (Normal channel), no pedals — clean amp pushed to edge of breakup

Crunchy, chimey rhythm tone with P90-style bite and midrange bark — not high-gain, just breaking up on attack

Why these settings

Your Katana-110 Bass is a bass amp — it lacks presence and reverb knobs (nulled). The Crunch amp type approximates the Twin's edge-of-breakup character. Your ES-335's humbuckers are hotter and warmer than Lennon's P90-loaded Casino, so I dropped bass by 1 and kept gain conservative at 4 to avoid mud. Mid pushed to 6 compensates for the Twin's naturally scooped voicing that the Katana's Crunch type emulates.

PRO TIPLennon's Casino had the finish stripped for more resonance and acoustic response — you can't replicate that, but rolling your tone knob to 8 (not full) softens the humbucker's top-end and gets closer to that hollow, woody P90 bark. Dig in with your pick on the A-D shuffle riff; the tone lives in the attack dynamics.
