01Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive
Used strictly as a clean boost/tightener in front of the amp to cut flubby low end and add attack
The studio rhythm uses modern 6505/EVH saturation, which has a sharper high-mid presence than the Marshall DSL40CR's naturally warm, barky mid-range. Engaging the Boss SD-1 as a clean boost with Drive nearly off tightens the low-end flub of the DSL before the preamp stages. Set the Ultra Gain channel to OD2 and keep gain at 6 so the boost saturates the front end without turning the signal to mush.
