01Mooer GE150 (TS-style Overdrive block in front)
Clean boost before Bogner input to tighten the low-end flub of the Strat single coil
02Mooer GE150 (EQ block in front)
Slight mid scoop at 800Hz and low-mid bump to emulate Pete Loeffler's Mesa V-curve
The Bogner Shiva has a warmer, more mid-focused British voicing compared to Pete Loeffler's scooped Mesa Mark IV/Rectifier wall, so the mids are kept at 4 while engaging the Shiva's onboard boost. To compensate for the Squier Affinity Strat's thinner single-coil bridge pickup versus a baritone humbucker, the GE150 runs an overdrive block with gain low and level high to push low-end punch without adding noise. Roll the Strat bridge tone knob slightly down to 8 to shave off sharp single-coil icepick frequencies. Clean verse: switch amp to Clean channel and bypass the GE150 boost.
