Boss Katana TONE TRICKS – Parametric EQ
The Parametric EQ in the Boss Katana can be quite daunting, but broken down into its elements can be easily understood. The Studio Rats are core band members Paul Drew on guitar/production/mixing, drummer James Ivey and Dan Hawkins on bass. They collaborate with singers and musicians to produce radio-ready songs.

I copied your settings from TSR clean on Artist Gen 3 to my panel but it doesn't sound the same. I feel dumb for not knowing how or why but i hear a difference when i switch back and forth. Maybe i should return my katana. I have no clue what I'm doing unfortunately
Merci beaucoup, très beau travail, très clair. Tu es d'une aide précieuse merci ????????
I wonder what an EQ would be like to get closer to Frusciante's tone…
One thing does interest me is the EQ amp in and EQ amp out… would love to see a video on that @thestudiorats
I've seen guys even using another eq on the effects also.. seems like a head fry, but I have been using the eq on the amp out and that has been brilliant.. but sometimes it can sound too thin post eq
Great video! I've been trying to tweak a metal tone I've been working on and and I had quite a lot of high end fizz and boxey-ness.. although I didn't want to lose too much low end, using this has helped.. I also took my gain down from 60 to 35 and that's helped with the fizz and more clarity
this is still a great guide in 2025
Frankly, my ear is not as good as yours. Wish I could just bring my Katana and LP to you and have you do it for me.
Great vid. How to remove low boomy freq from my artist mk2, driving my crazy
This function is what makes me truly hooked to this amp. I can even (somewhat) replicate another speaker. Its an amazing function truly
Great video. I really need to go into the parametric eq on katana librarian for my artist mk2 and tweak it. Quick question. Sorry if it’s a silly one. Still a novice with the amp. Do I need to do it for every channel saved? Or does adjusting the parametric eq universally apply to all channels?
Best simplified info on eq use I’ve ever seen,thanks!
nice visual with the fab
Wow, nice video
This video is amazing. Thank you!
I've just brought a 2×12 and had to put the noise gate on 100 is this ok ? Thanks colin ????
I liked the way the tone was to start. IMO, there are some many great tones. Sometimes it can just be left alone.
Do you always cut above 6.3khz for electric guitar? Thanks!
Do I turn off the global EQ when using the parametric eq?
Amazing video, just what I needed! Another thing about Katana 50II is that what I hear from the speaker is very different from recording with usb which I do a lot for my Spotify music. When I have good sound in the speaker the recording get muddy. A video that analyze what the different is between what you hear in the Katana speaker vs. usb would be very interesting. Maybe changing the speaker would help. Someone suggested Celestion FX12-X200 but I would like to know if it's worth the money.
I also did a practical "solution" today by unmount the speaker and put an outcut of a tshirt in front of the speaker. Sounds silly but it made it less harsh. lol
Recently swapped the old pickups in my Epiphone Les Paul custom for an emg 81/85 set and had a terrible time trying to tame them through the Katana, you sir helped me in 7 short minutes!! Thanks a ton
