01Boss Katana Onboard Booster (T-Scream)
Internal Katana BST effect block
The Katana 50 MkII lacks a physical Presence knob so top-end bite is shaped by setting Treble to 7 on the Brown amp type. Engaging the internal T-Scream booster with Drive at 0 and Level high tightens the low-end flub and mimics the modern high-gain production on the record. Your Ibanez ceramic Infinity R bridge humbuckers provide ample output, so keep the amp gain around 6 to prevent muddy oversaturation.
