RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. Used as a clean boost to tighten low-end and add pick attack. Essential for achieving the tight palm-mute response of the original.
The Stage Right C11800 is a budget solid-state amp with less midrange complexity than the Bogner Uberschall. Push mids to 7 to compensate for the flatter voicing — the original tone was defined by cranked mids with reduced bass. Your BC Rich Revenge likely has high-output humbuckers similar to the Invaders, so gain at 7 will get you in the ballpark. Without a compressor or boost pedal, your lead tone will lack the sustain and tightness of the original — a basic TS-style pedal running as a clean boost would close 60% of that gap.
