02Graphic EQ (Helix Internal Block)
Post-amp block mimicking classic Mesa Mark V-curve graphic EQ
The original track uses high-output active humbuckers into a Mesa Mark/Plexi stack, so on a standard single-coil Strat the Cali IV Lead model needs slightly pushed pre-gain and boosted 2.2kHz mids to simulate humbucker body. Bass is kept moderate at 5 with the Screamer block cutting low-end rumble before distortion to maintain tight palm-muted tracking. A post-amp graphic EQ scoops the nasal 750Hz frequencies while keeping the aggressive low-mid punch.
