01TS9 (NUX Drive Block)
Used as a clean boost to tighten low end and add sustain
02Analog Delay (NUX DLY Block)
Engage for lead fills and sustained soaring motifs
03Hall Reverb (NUX RVB Block)
Adds spatial depth matching the studio production
The Sqoe Sest 600 HSS bridge humbucker gives the output needed for modern rock, but budget ceramic or alnico pickups can be harsh in the upper highs. The Brit 800 block on the MG-101 is dialed with mid 7 and treble 6, using the TS9 drive block as a tightener with drive low and level high to mirror the studio Marshall punch without fizz. For the acoustic/clean intro textures, switch to neck pickup and bypass the TS9 drive block.
