01Ibanez Tube Screamer TS9
Used as a clean boost to tighten the low-end track attack into the amp
The Vox VT40+ is a modeling amp, so select the high-gain 'US HIGAIN' amp model to provide the core saturation rather than relying on standard AC chime. Using your TS9 with Drive at zero and Level high tightens the flubby bass frequencies before hitting the preamp, delivering that precise fast-grind attack. Keep mids centered rather than deeply scooped to retain clarity through rapid blastbeats.
