Why these settings

The studio cut relies on an aggressive, gated fuzz layered with sub-octave synths rather than standard amp overdrive. On the POD Go, keeping the Brit J-800 gain at 2 allows the Triangle Fuzz block to deliver the core saturation without muddying up. The Les Paul Modern's hot bridge humbucker pushes the fuzz into instant hard-clipping saturation, so the fast hard gate is essential for modern punch.

PRO TIPMute completely with your palm between riff hits—grandson's explosive heavy groove relies on immediate dead-silence stops right against the hard noise gate.
