01Boss GX-100: T-SCREAM block
Used as clean boost to tighten low end into the amp model
02Boss GX-100: BRIT STACK (or MDP DS / CORE METAL) Amp Block
Primary gain source; run GX-100 output into NUX Mighty 20 BT flat clean channel
03Boss GX-100: NOISE SUPPRESSOR block
Placed after preamp to keep fast folk-metal power chord stops dead quiet
04Boss GX-100: PLATE REVERB block
Subtle room dimension
Because the Boss GX-100 handles the complete British high-gain preamp modeling and boosting, set your NUX Mighty 20 BT to its cleanest, flattest setting with amp gain low to prevent double-gain mud. The Ibanez Infinity R bridge humbucker matches Carlitos' hot bridge pickup perfectly; the GX-100 mid boost at 7 ensures your riffs cut through without competing with the flute and violin frequencies. For the clean intro arpeggios, bypass the T-SCREAM block and switch the GX-100 amp channel to clean.
