Clean boost / tightener pushing the ToneX high-gain Mesa capture input
John Petrucci tracked this famous solo using neck humbuckers into a Mesa Mark IIC+ voiced preamp for ultra-creamy sustain. To adapt your single-coil Stratocaster to his thick signature sound, use the neck pickup with the tone rolled off slightly to 8 to tame high-end chime, and use your TS9 as a clean boost with Drive at 0 and Level at 8 to tighten the low end and enrich the mids into a high-gain Mesa capture. Clean verses: bypass the TS9 and switch ToneX to a pristine Roland JC-120 or Twin Reverb clean capture with chorus.
