01Tube Screamer (TS808 model in Ampero)
Used as a clean boost/tightener before the amp model — cuts bass mud, adds pick attack definition. Place BEFORE amp block in signal chain.
02Noise Gate (in Ampero)
Essential for tight palm mutes and silence between riffs. Place after TS, before amp block.
Your Jackson JS32 has passive humbuckers vs the original's active EMGs — the Ampero's TS808 model compensates by adding compression and cutting low-end mud that actives naturally reject. The RECT MDN or PV 5150 amp models in the Ampero replicate the tight, scooped voicing of the original recording. Mid is set to 4 (slightly scooped) because the Rectifier Modern voice is already mid-cut; going lower loses note definition in the tremolo sections.
