Smooth studio ambience
Jeff Kollman gets his signature vocal fusion lead by rolling back the tone slightly on a neck pickup into a pushed British tube amp. The Jackson JS32 humbuckers are hotter and thicker than vintage single-coils, so keeping the modeler treble moderate and tone knob at 7 prevents excessive mud while retaining a smooth, liquid high end. The TS-style overdrive block in the Arena 2000 acts as a tight mid-boost rather than raw distortion.
