01EHX Green Russian Big Muff
Primary gain source; smooth low-end fuzz into clean amp
02Boss Katana Onboard Chorus Block
Set to CE-2/Chorus block on Mod knob to capture the signature stereo-chorused wall of sound
The EHX Russian Big Muff serves as the primary gain engine, so the Katana 50 MkII is set to the Clean amp type with gain kept low to prevent double-gain mud. To compensate for single-coil Strat pickups vs Kenny Hickey's thick humbuckers in B standard, bass is pushed to 8 and the Strat bridge tone control is rolled back to 7 to remove high-end cut. The Katana 50 MkII lacks a physical presence control, so top-end smoothing is handled via the treble knob and tone pot. Clean verse: bypass the Big Muff, keeping the onboard chorus active.
