01Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive
In front of HX Stomp input — used as a clean mid-boost to tighten low-end flub and sharpen pick attack
The HX Stomp's Cali Rectifire block provides the heavy Modern Rectifier rhythm core of the record. Because the Kramer Focus has a bright bridge humbucker, bass is kept at 5 and mids at 4 to retain punch without getting overly thin. Running your physical Boss SD-1 as a tight boost (low drive, high level) cuts the Rectifier's loose bottom end and mirrors the ProCo Rat edge on the studio cut.
