RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; tightens low end and emulates Alexi's internal MM-04 preamp boost
The Champion 20 lacks a dedicated mid knob (null) and presence (null), so select the Metal 3 voice for the aggressive preamp saturation Alexi uses on his Marshall JVM. Because single coils on a Strat naturally lack the punch of Laiho's active-boosted bridge humbucker, roll the guitar tone knob down to 7 to tame single-coil icepick frequencies and keep bass at 6 to prevent the 8-inch speaker from farting out. Recommending a subtle chorus pedal and clean overdrive boost to replicate Alexi's signature wide stereo sheen and tight percussive attack.
