01RC Boost (EFX Block)
Clean boost block pushing the front of the Recto model to tighten low-end
To compensate for the Fender Player Strat's single-coil bridge pickup versus the original Les Paul humbuckers, tone is pulled back to 8 to avoid ice-pick highs while pushing mids to 6 and preamp gain to 7 on the Recto model. The onboard clean boost block tightens the flubby low-end typical of Rectifier models, recreating the punchy tracked double of the Dual Rectifier and JCM800 blend. Keep reverb minimal (1) to preserve the tight, dry pop-punk palm mutes.
