A Mark IIC+ sounding amp or plugin, set to a rhythm (crunch) channel with the gain cranked (or a high gain channel with the gain just high enough to get good palm mutes. 3. An EQ between the bass and the cab (FX loop) in a full scooped "v", with the bass sliders only slightly boosted. 4. A good bassy, scooped cabinet or impulse response (there are free AJFA IRs out there). 5. An eq at the end with the frequency set to 1024 hz, max Q, and around -8 to -12 db (this is where the secret is). Another key is not too much gain. The AJFA tone is surprisingly low in gain for what it sounds like.
Thank you, it helped a lot. I bought a Katana, tried for several days to adjust the overdrive sound, but it turned out to be just plastic. Using your patch as an example, I realized that it’s still possible to improve the sound
Just got the Boss Katana mkII 100w I’ll have to use your presets brother. Much love. I’ve been looking for that killer tone. I appreciate the work!! Keep shredding love that tone so much.
I’ve always been struggling with tone and I used this for master of puppets as I want to learn it since Eddie Munson killed it. This tone is so good sounds chuggy and mean asf especially if you apply some pressure with ur palm mute honestly love it thank you.
I sat here and copied your settings and it didn’t sound right but then I downloaded the patches and almost started crying it sounds so amazing I have a kh602 I just bought and the guitar looked at me and was like holy shit bro you sound like the guy who plays my cousin
Absolutely spot on with your tone, very impressive! Might have to dust off my Katana and try to learn how to use that tone studio again, you've inspired me!
I played the shortest straw by metallica back in 2005(year 12), this would help immensely when i get back into guitar soon after a 10 year break, i played Joe Satriani circles on stage before that in 2004, only after 4 years of guitar playing with reynauds (so low oxygen to fingers) hard to play at a top level with this....
Guten Morgen Boris, gute Idee und für Leute mit einem Katana bestimmt interessant. Wird natürlich bei vielen noch Feintunig nötig sein, da anderes Gitarrenmodel und Abnehmer, Anschlagsdynamik/- Stärke, Saitenhersteller und Konfiguration der Strings untereinander (9-42, 9-46, 10-52 usw.), um nur ein paar Parameter zu nennen. Als erster Einstieg aber sicherlich sehr gut zu gebrauchen, um ein wenig Gefühl für den jeweiligen Klang zu entwickeln. Auch und gerade das Black Album ist dafür bekannt, daß hier innerhalb der Songs schon mehrere Sounds benötigt werden und die Sounds auch bei mehreren Songs sehr unterschiedlich sind. Der Engineer hat hier ordentlich experimentiert. Aber Du sagst ja zurecht, dass die Bands natürlich haufenweise Equipment (im Studio) zur Verfügung haben und ganz andere finanzielle Möglichkeiten besitzen. Daumen hoch und weiter so. Wünsche Dir ein angenehmes, wenn möglich verschneites Wochenende. Gruß aus Hannover
Guten Morgen Daniel, Jap, Menschen werden mit anderen Equipment noch bisschen experimentieren müssen, aber ich denke das ist ein guter Start. Leider variieren die Sounds auch bei früheren Albums bei den jeweiligen Songs, also war es echt schwer einen Mittelweg zu finden, aber wer einen metallica Sound entwickeln will, hat hier vllt einen guten Start. Danke, dir auch ein schönes und angenehmes Wochenende🤟
Hey man! Thanks so much! Is there a chance you can do trivium pls! Been trying to get the sound for long time but no success, i believe you can! Much appreciated.
That "programming crap" is mostly just placing effects, as in real world, in the signal chain (amp, effects, equalizer, etc...) it's pretty much a big rig, put into a small box. I really recommend you to try it. If you still don't want to try, I could replicate them someday
i tried out all these tones and i like most of the dirty ones. i think its the black album one thats too scratchy for me but its probably my guitar or something but the others sound good. i also like the clean ones.
In diesem Video habe ich ohne Cab gespielt. Ich habe den direkten Audio Ausgang aus USB genutzt. Falls ich aber mit einem Cab spiele, dann ist es ein Selbstgebauter Cab mit 2x Celestion g75t
You are probably using some sort of cabinet or the katana combo version. If used through USB, the katana has it's own impulse responses (aka Cabs) for playing without an actual Cabinet
hello, very good patches. But I have a weird problem. I have a katana mk2 50. When I use any patch and activate the "variation", the sound changes completely and if I deactivate it the sound does not return to what it was before. I've also tried copying every setting of a patch to a new channel and I can't get the same sound. What could happen? Why is it that if I turn on "variation" the sound changes completely, and when I turn it off, the sound doesn't go back to how it was? And why if I copy each setting to another new channel I can't get the same sound from the patch? Will I have to look at another setting? or does the tone studio have a problem?
@@xBorisAntasx but if I copy the same settings to another channel, I can't get the original sound of the patch. Are there any other settings that I'm not seeing? apart from amp type, cab, booster, FX and NS (in the case of master of puppets)
I downloaded some presets that already tried to mimic Metallica sound, but it didn't seem quite right, so I played a little bit with those presets and used a second Equalizer for tone shaping. Some bands do the opposite things and I honestly don't understand why I did it this way. Maybe the first eq is placed before the preamp to distort the sound a little bit, like a tubescreamer for example, or maybe it was just my stupidness. My amp is currently not with me and I can't check
I know I'm late but I'm thinking of buying this Amp come Christmas time. Is there anything I gotta buy that isn't included in the tone studio that you can download when you buy the Amp? \m/
Not really, this amp is fully packed with features. The only thing I would recommend is a good cabinet. I remember my first time testing this amp and it sounded like shit on my g12n speakers. If you don't want to invest into an cabinet, you can buy or download IRs from the Internet. They basically emulate a cabinet and since most of the tone shaping happens in the cabinet itself, you can dial in almost any sound imaginable
@@xBorisAntasx when we say speaker/cab we refer to either a solid amp speaker or a separate cab right? And when we say though the USB port? That's the part I don't understand I just know the katana can connect to a laptop with the 2.0 cable. I'm sorry for the questions I just don't know a thing about amp and connections to pc.
From my experience it mostly depends on pick-ups. If I use my LTD guitar it's quiet, if I use my Ibanez guitar, there is a little bit of background noise because of the cheaper electronics.
Well I appreciate the effort the Ride the lighting is not good first off the bossier shows being green meaning it one on but the switch says off so the tone doesn’t fit again appreciate it but it didn’t really work
I did every setting you used but my guitar didn't sound Metallica like yours did. I tried all your settings. I dont know if im doing something wrong :( My boss katana is not head like yours if that matter.
@@xBorisAntasx do you have the Boss cab? I have the head mk2 and use a cheap Marshall 412. It sounds great but really limits the versatility to one type of tone. I'm a bit afraid of the Boss cab. I worry I wont like the speakers much. But I get the feeling they are versatile. I have been thinking about buying the Boss cab. Or buying some good speakers to put in the Marshall cab. Any thoughts?
@@kickfighting1015 I have no experience with the boss cab. I'm using celestion g12n speakers and it sounds great, that's all I can say about external speakers
The pickups in the guitar play a big role in the overall sound. The ESP LTD MH-200 has passive humbuckers (LH-150N in the neck position, LH-150B in the bridge position). What pickups does your guitar have, and are you using only the bridge pickup?
@@dementkro you need to download the Boss Tone Studio. www.boss.info/de/support/by_product/katana-50_mk2/updates_drivers/ba9d72f3-a8c4-4b1f-b92f-78c4449421de/ There could be an error after connecting your Amp to the PC.

Loaded onto my Katana today. Excellent work Boris.
Awesome tones!
Man this is awesome ! Thank you
Getting my ktn50 in a couple days , can’t wait to get it and try out these patches
The ride the lightning one is pretty accurate
awsome tones keep up the good work🤘
These patches are awesome \m/
Great job fade to black sounds very close
Thank you
Very good tones, just bought the katana head so i will download these right away
Hope you like them, but keep in mind those are recorded through USB. It will sound way different with a cabinet
Cleans on patch are amazing bro
an advice for those with hotter or EMG active pickups: try turning the gain down.

what is this song in the ending? i mean when he ended playing metallica riffs
Thanks dude
You're welcome
Anyone have any good patches for A carcass like sound or a chuck schuldiner/ death tone for a katana air? Im not good at this programming crap lol
That "programming crap" is mostly just placing effects, as in real world, in the signal chain (amp, effects, equalizer, etc...) it's pretty much a big rig, put into a small box. I really recommend you to try it.
If you still don't want to try, I could replicate them someday
whats your recording settings bro ?
Wow, these sounds are very carefully and precisely recreated. Are you using volume channel maxed only when recording? Great job!
Thank you, I actually never max it out, only if there is a big volume difference between channels
Amazing! Thank you! Do you have any Kirk Solo Patches?
I do indeed, but I've linked them on some of my other videos. I don't have my Katana at home currently
I'm trying to import them on my mk1 but it keeps saying 'import failed' ... any help?
They are mean't for mk2 and incompatible with mk1
@@xBorisAntasx sad
just a tip the mids where scooped on ride the Lightning and justice for all
I scooped them as well in the eq section. Quite a lot actually
Sadly, these patches dont work on MK1
that's unfortunate
Is this done on a computer or on the amp itself. I bought a boss katana. Mk 2 50w, do you have download the tones into the amp or is it app?
The sound comes from the Katana, I've created those tones with an app on pc. It's called boss tone studio I believe
i tried out all these tones and i like most of the dirty ones. i think its the black album one thats too scratchy for me but its probably my guitar or something but the others sound good. i also like the clean ones.
Black album dirty tone sounds a lot like Dimebag Darrel in my opinion
Does this only works on MK2 or does it work in MK1 as well?
Sounds great!
I never owned a mk1, so i'm not sure, but i guess it doesn't work
Thank you

Downloaded all your patches, they are amazing. Please try and tackle MUSE! Keep it up, friend!
I have passive pickups. What do I change the tone to make it sound more similar to yours?
More gain probably
Is it connected to the computer? What's the fx app?
Boss Tone Studio. It's not a fx app. It changes your preferences in your Amp
How is the booster light on but switch is off? I need help. Thx
When you load the settings into your Katana, it overwrites the settings on the panel
I did the exact same setting but its not accurate what am i doing wrong?
Using a cab maybe?
