RECOMMENDED — not owned (use in front to tighten the low-end flub on modern metal drop tunings)
The Dual Rectifier's Modern channel naturally scoops mids and pushes massive sub-lows, so the midrange is boosted to 7 and bass kept conservative at 5 to capture the mid-forward bite of the original modded JCM800s. To compensate for single-coil Strat pickups vs humbuckers in low drop tunings, the bridge tone knob is rolled down slightly to 8 to shave off harsh top-end fizz while retaining punch. Reverb is kept at 0 to keep the heavy staccato riffing completely tight and dry.
