RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; essential for the exact spitty, unhinged chorus fuzz
The Parrot BC-08 is an unrecognized mini practice amp lacking mid and presence controls, so maximum grit must come directly from its onboard drive switch and high gain. The Pacifica's bridge humbucker pushes the small front end harder than Coxon's Telecaster, delivering necessary cut through the treble boost. For the near-clean verses, roll the guitar volume knob down to 3 or switch to the neck single coil.
