01Screamer (TS-style OD Block)
Used strictly as a clean boost into the amp block to tighten tracking

DragonForce achieves relentless articulation by pushing a high-gain British/American hybrid preamp with a mid-focused overdrive set to low drive and high volume. On your NUX MG-101, choose the Fireman high-gain model boosted in front with the Screamer block rather than relying solely on the amp's onboard gain knob, which keeps pick response crisp at speed. Keep the amp block's midrange boosted at 7 so your humbucker retains note separation without getting lost in low-end flub.
