01Xotic EP Booster
Used as an always-on preamp enhancer and touch-sensitive push into the clean front end
The Davis G-10 is a small practice amplifier with a 2-band EQ (no mid control) and an aggressive solid-state drive switch that would sound harsh and fizzy for this warm ballad. Running the G-10 on its clean channel with gain low and using your Xotic EP Booster as a discreet discrete preamp fattens the thin ceramic Strat-style pickups of the Thomson ST1, recreating the organic body of Billie Joe's P-90. Treble is dialed conservatively to prevent the small speaker and single coils from becoming piercing against the piano. For the softer introductory arpeggios, pick lightly with guitar volume down to 6; bring volume back to 8 for the swelling choruses.
