01DOD Overdrive Preamp 250
Owned pedal acting as the primary gain source into the amp's clean channel
Per double-gain prevention, the DOD 250 is running hard into the GA-20ST's clean channel at low gain to deliver vintage cranked clipping without muddying the small speaker. The Ibanez humbuckers are warmer and hotter than Hendrix's single-coil Strat, so the amp's mid and bass are balanced while the guitar volume is dialed slightly back to clear up the low-end mud. The GA-20ST lacks a presence control, so presence is nulled.
