RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; used on octave up (+1 Oct) with toe down for the signature scraping high pitch shift effect
Because you are running direct into the authentic Dual Rectifier, Channel 3 Modern provides the exact saturated wall of sound heard on Magma. To compensate for the Donner DM-100's lower-output, brighter bridge single coil compared to Joe Duplantier's high-output humbuckers, gain is pushed to 7 and the tone knob is rolled back to 8 to tame high-end harshness. Keep bass at 5 so the Rectifier's low end remains punchy rather than loose without an external boost pedal.
