Use only for clean intro/verse sections — Carpenter's clean tone had subtle chorus. Bypass for heavy sections.

Why these settings

Your single-coil Strat has lower output and brighter voicing than Carpenter's JB humbuckers. Mid pushed to 7 (vs original 5-6) compensates for the Strat's scooped character. Treble dropped to 5 (vs original 6) prevents ice-pick from the single coils. Gain stays moderate at 6 because the Metal 2000 model runs hotter than the ADA MP-1's raw tube saturation.

PRO TIPRoll your tone knob to 6-7 during the heavy chorus sections to thicken the single-coil output and approximate humbucker warmth — the Strat bridge pickup is too brittle wide open for this tuning.
