RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. Used as a clean boost to tighten low end and add pick definition. Without this, the THR10II's gain will feel slightly looser than the original.

Why these settings

The THR10II's HI GAIN/Modern voicing approximates the tight Rectifier-style saturation but lacks the preamp's mid-scoop depth. Mids at 3 emulates Carpenter's scooped sound. Bass dropped to 5 (vs original's 6.5) because the Pacifica's Alnico V single-coil-sized humbucker has less low-end authority than a full 7-string JB — compensating prevents mud. Treble raised slightly to recover pick articulation lost from the smaller-output pickup.

PRO TIPTune to Drop D (or Drop Db if your strings handle it) and attack the low string aggressively with the pick angled slightly — Carpenter's tone relies on that percussive 'click' from hard downstrokes, not the sustained saturation.
