The NUX Brit 800 block replicates Tom Morello's core JCM800 overdrive channel with boosted mids and moderate gain. Because standard single-coil Strat bridge pickups are brighter and thinner than Morello's Seymour Duncan Hot Rails, treble is held at 6 with gain set to 7 to maintain body and sustain. For the clean intro and verse arpeggios, switch the Strat to the neck pickup and roll guitar volume down to 6.
