01Mooer GE100 DS Block (TS9 / Green Mile Overdrive model)
Used as a clean boost to tighten the low-end attack into the high-gain amp model
02Mooer GE100 NS Block (Noise Gate)
Essential for clamping fast-picked palm mutes without feedback
The Valvestate 8100's signature tone relies on solid-state clipping with its Contour control sweeping out boxy low-mids while preserving razor-sharp high mids. On the GE100, pairing the high-gain J800 amp model with a TS-style overdrive block running low drive and high level replicates that tight, lightning-fast pick response without low-end flub. The GE100 has no master presence control, so push the treble block to 7 to capture Chuck Schuldiner's cutting pick attack.
