01Joyo Splinter Distortion
Gain source (FAT mode recommended). Run direct into amp clean input.
Per double-gain prevention, the Marshall MG30CFX is set to its clean channel with gain down so the Joyo Splinter serves as the primary modern distortion source. The Stratocaster's bridge single-coil is naturally brighter and thinner than the humbuckers used on the recording, so the pedal's Filter knob is turned past noon and the guitar tone is rolled down to 8 to tame harsh treble. The Marshall MG30CFX lacks a physical presence control, so presence is nulled and top-end smoothing is handled via the pedal's filter and amp treble. Clean verse: bypass the Joyo Splinter and switch to neck+middle pickups.
