01Onboard Overdrive Block (Greenbox / Tube OD)
Used strictly as a clean front-end boost to tighten bass and add saturation before the amp model
02Onboard Noise Gate
Essential to keep tight start-stop staccato chugging silent
The original cut blends modern high-gain Mesa Rectifier saturation with Marshall mid-bite. On the Mustang GTX 100, the '00s Metal amp voice nails the modern cascaded gain structure; keep the mids slightly cut at 4 to replicate the recorded post-grunge scoop. Your Schecter Omen 6 has high-output passive humbuckers that easily drive the amp block, so keep amp gain at 7 and let the onboard overdrive block tighten the bottom end without adding pedal fuzz. Clean verse: bypass the overdrive block and roll guitar volume to 4.
