The Judas priest guitar tone for “Electric eye”, dialed in for a Blackstar HT Club 40 MkII with a Jackson JS32 Dinky. Studio version, Screaming for Vengeance (1982)
Marshall JMP/JCM800 1959 Super Lead (normal channel), Dallas Rangemaster treble booster, Gibson Les Paul with humbuckers, Boss CE-2 chorus (subtle, in loop)
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |

| Mid | 7 |
| Treble | 6 |
| Presence | 5 |
| Reverb | 0 |
| Master | 6 |
01Treble Booster (Rangemaster-style clone)
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. A TC Electronic Spark Booster or EHX LPB-1 set bright can approximate. This is essential to the Priest attack.
02Analog Chorus (Boss CE-2 style)
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. Run in FX loop. Used subtly for thickness, not obvious warble. MXR Micro Chorus or Boss CE-2W are ideal.
Your Blackstar's ISF should be set fully clockwise (British voicing) to match the Marshall mid-bark. The HT Club 40's Crunch channel is closer to the JCM800 normal channel than the OD2 — OD2 is too saturated. I dropped presence from typical Priest settings (-1) because the Blackstar's presence is more aggressive than vintage Marshalls. Your Jackson's ceramic humbuckers are hotter than Tipton's PAF-style pickups, so gain is conservative at 5.
