01NUX MG-300 Tube Drive (TS Block as Boost)
In front of amp model to tighten low-end and add attack
02NUX MG-300 Noise Gate
Essential to keep the staccato riff dead silent between hits
To emulate the Marshall JMP-1 OD2 preamp into the NUX MG-300, use the Brit 800 high-gain model pushed with the onboard Tube Drive block set as a clean boost (Drive 0, Level 8). Because your Stratocaster uses lower-output single coils compared to Stephen Carpenter's high-output bridge humbucker, keep amp gain higher around 8 and roll the guitar tone knob down to 8 to tame high-end single-coil fizz. Verse clean tone: roll guitar volume back to 4-5 or tap into the neck pickup with a chorus block engaged.
