01Compressor Block (CS)
In front of amp model to clamp low-end transients on heavy chugs
02Graphic EQ Block (GEQ)
Post-amp block to notch 750Hz-800Hz mids and boost sub-100Hz thump
03Noise Suppressor Block (NS)
Tight gate to silence high-gain hiss between percussive stabs
The GX-100 RECTI STACK model delivers the signature scooped Mesa Triple Rectifier crunch used on Follow the Leader. Your 80s Les Paul with passive humbuckers has a thicker, warmer midrange than an A-standard tuned 7-string, so mid is pulled down to 3 and treble raised to 7 to maintain note separation and percussive attack. Clean intro/verse: bypass the high-gain amp and compressor, engage a Small Stone/Phase block on a clean twin model.
