In front of amp model as a classic Gothenburg boost/tightener

Essential for clamping 5150 high-gain buzz
03Plate Reverb
Subtle room ambience matching Studio Fredman tracking
The Jester Race was tracked with a boosted Peavey 5150 block; on the Boss GX-100, the 5150 DRIVE amp block paired with an OD-1 style clean boost captures that tight Fredrik Nordström signature bite. Your Jackson Dinky Pro Plus carries hot bridge humbuckers that drive the front end naturally, so amp gain is kept at 6 to avoid muddying the dual-guitar harmonies. Acoustic intro: switch to an acoustic simulator or piezo block bypassed for the heavy riff.
