Linde's crushing rhythm tone relies on high-gain British power amp saturation. Because you own a Boss DS-1, the amp is kept on the Clean Channel with low gain to prevent double-gain mud. The Harley Benton HB-40R lacks a presence control, so treble is set to 6 on the amp with the DS-1 Tone pulled back to 4 to round off harsh solid-state fizz.
