01NUX MG-30 EFX Block: 'Super OD' (Boss SD-1 style)
Placed pre-amp block as a classic clean boost to tighten bass and add upper-mid cut
02NUX MG-30 MOD Block: 'Stereo Chorus' (CE-2 style)

Kee Marcello's tone on Out of This World relied on a hot-rodded JCM800 pushed by a mild overdrive and heavily treated with late-80s studio racks. The NUX MG-30 'Brit 800' provides the foundational core; pairing it with the onboard 'Super OD' set as a low-gain, high-output boost saturates the front end without muddying the palm-muted riff. The Squier Contemporary Strat bridge humbucker matches Kee's Superstrat bridge pickup closely, requiring open tone and full volume.
