01Katana Built-in Delay (Digital)
Use Boss Tone Studio to select Digital Delay; quarter-note tempo feel for spacious ambience
02Katana Built-in Modulation (Chorus)
Subtle CE-1 style chorus via Tone Studio for width; keep slow and shallow
The Katana Clean type provides the Fender-style headroom this atmospheric tone needs. Your GRG170DX has hotter Infinity pickups than a typical single-coil setup, so gain stays at 3 to preserve clean definition. Rolling guitar volume to 8 and tone to 7 softens the humbucker's attack for that pillowy indie texture.
