Are you talking about the growler sound at the beginning?

 

[Kraftywerkz]

yes sir I know there has to be a way if the Katana can do it

Not sure of the exact settings to adjust but it basically sounds like an envelope filter that doesn’t have a huge sweep.

I know he does it with A purple line 6 FM4 Filter modulator .. what ever this is

Basically that specific effect is an auto-wah with a small sweep on the frequencies and looks like it’s set to trigger on how hard you hit the strings.

There is a factory preset in the axe, I think it’s called funk wah (preset 83 in bank B) or something to that effect that could give you a starting point.

I'll try but the sound is really weird kind of digital sounding

That’s the narrow sweep, basically instead of a wah pedal going all the way back into heel down position, it’s going from toe down to about 1/4 to 1/2 up.

Checking the FM4 manual, it says this:

Growler – Roland® GR700 meets Mu-Tron® III
If you’ve been paying attention, you’ve noticed that our model based on the Mu-Tron® III has been making a number of appear-
ances in the Filter Modeler’s hit parade. This time it’s stepping out in the distinguished company of another GR700-inspired
tone. Check out the dynamic duo in action. FREQ controls the frequency of the filter (surprise). Q sets the width of the filter.
SPEED dials in the speed of the vibrato-y pulse width modulation. MODE controls the Pitch of the synth over a two octave + range.

So, it's a combo effect with an Envelope Filter and a Synth.

I'm betting @simeon could recreate this quickly assuming he hasn't already.
