01MXR Dookie Drive
GAIN SOURCE — runs directly into amp input. Recreates the Pete/Meat dual Marshall blend.
The SV20H is a non-master volume Plexi circuit, so keep Loudness 1 low around 2 to prevent flubby power-amp distortion from muddying the pedal. The MXR Dookie Drive is voiced specifically to replicate Martin Golub's 'Pete' and 'Meat' modded Marshalls, functioning as your primary gain engine. The ceramic humbucker on your Jet JS-400 provides the necessary hot, bitey output close to Billie Joe's slanted bridge pickup.
