01Marshall Code Onboard Distortion (Guv'nor / OD model)
Used as a tight front-end boost into the amp model
To compensate for the lower output and brighter character of your Stratocaster's single coils compared to a dual-humbucker death metal rig, the tone knob is rolled back slightly and the onboard boost block provides extra saturation. The Marshall Code 50's high-gain JVM model supplies the core European-influenced Japanese melodeath grind without needing an external pedal. Keep the low end punchy around 7 to maintain chunk for the down-tuned riffing without muddying the single-coil attack.
