Use as a mid-hump boost into the amp's HI GAIN channel—adds the tight 80s edge and focus that the scooped amp alone lacks
The THR10II's HI GAIN model approximates the JCM800 crunch Tracii used. Your Pacifica's Alnico V bridge humbucker is hotter than a vintage PAF, so gain at 7 instead of 8 prevents mud. Mid at 4 gives the era-correct scoop without losing definition. The Behringer OD in boost mode (low drive, high level) adds the midrange focus and compression that tightens palm mutes—essential for this tone.
