01Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive
Tightening boost in front of the amp; cuts sub-bass flub and focuses aggressive upper mids.
02Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor
Essential for clamping down fast staccato palm-muted chugs in C standard.
03MXR M108s Ten Band EQ
Post-gain shaping to replicate the scooped Krank/Dethklok bite: slight notch at 500Hz-1kHz and boost at 2-4kHz.
The Spider IV 'Metal Red' model replicates high-gain Mesa/Krank cascaded saturation, so keeping amp gain at 5 avoids the digital fizz that happens when pushed higher. Your Jackson JS32 humbuckers are passive compared to Brendon Small's high-output active EMGs, so the SD-1 acts as a clean boost with Drive at 0 and Level at 9 to drive the preamp hard. The MXR 10-band sculpts the signature aggressive midrange notch while keeping the low-C tuning tight and clear.
