        I am having some fun with my Katana… admittedly I got off to a slow start with the tone settings and using Tone Central. I wasn’t trying to emulate Fogerty’s sound but did dial in some Tremelo for this. I included the EQ, Blues Driver and Tremelo settings. I will share a Marshall Plexi Tone Setting that is real close soon. I need to figure out how to save, store and use the pedal board. Lots of fun. Hope you like.

          That was awesome John. Nothing like getting a new piece of gear to spark your inspiration and creativity. You’re definitely dialing in some rocking tones on that new amp.

            Very nice John.
            You got the tone pretty close.
            When I think of Fogerty I can’t stop seeing his padded Kustom amp and his black LP.
            He’s a legend.

              Yep, that captured the Fogerty vibe pretty good. So many tones to capture.

              Go slow and practice correct technique, and your abilities will dramatically improve.

                    I love that Swamp Rock! Fogerty is one of my all time guitar inspirations.
                    Great rhythm playing!
                    I like that you try out different tone settings with the Katana. I haven’t used mine for a long time and should give a new try.

                      You made great use of that backing track, John. Loved those muted rhythms.
                      Good to see you getting more out of the Katana. Tone central is the way to go but your screen looks different than mine. I’ll take you up on that Facetime to discuss.

                        That dials in a pretty nice rocking sound John. Some very nice playing from you of course 😄Can’t say i know much about amps because I have used my same old VOX for years now.

                            Fabulous groove John, very Fogerty like. The tone, EQ and Trem was just right for this Southern Swamp feel.

                                You can’t beat good old CCR. Great choice of song John and sounding like the real deal. All the best! 😎🎸😎

                                    That’s one fabulous sound, definitely got that classic CCR ring to it. Love that dissonance you’re getting on the E7 combined with there tremolo. You’re rocking that John 🤘🎸

                                      Sounds great, John. You’re getting some great tones out of that amp already.
