01DigiTech Whammy V
Bypassed for rhythm — John Notto does not use pitch-shifting on the rhythm track; keep bypassed or set toe down for solo accents
02Marshall Guv'nor / Plexi-style Overdrive
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; with this pedal, disengage the Rumble overdrive, run clean, and let the pedal simulate the cranked Marshall 1987x
The Fender Rumble 100 is a bass combo with a 4-band EQ (Low-Mid/High-Mid) and no presence or reverb knobs, so presence and reverb are null; the 'mid' value represents Low-Mid at 6 and High-Mid pushed to 7. To reach John Notto's cranked Marshall Plexi crunch using only your gear, engage the Rumble's Overdrive circuit and Bright switch while rolling Bass down to 4 to prevent the 12-inch bass speaker from getting muddy. Your Harley Benton SC-Custom II humbuckers match the output and bite of Notto's '58 Les Paul nicely. Clean verse: bypass the drive circuit and pick lightly on the middle pickup position.
