The Catalyst cx 100 Lead model delivers the hot-rodded British preamp bite of Alexi's iconic Lee Jackson GP-1000 setup. Alexi's tone is extremely mid-forward rather than scooped, so keep mids pushed high at 8 and treble at 7 while engaging the onboard boost switch to replicate his guitar's internal active gain booster pushing the preamp. The JS22 high-output ceramic bridge humbucker matches his bright, cutting attack directly.
