01Boss ME-90 OD/DS Block (T-SCREAM / TURBO OD as tight boost)
OD/DS section placed before preamp to cut flub and tighten the low-end attack
02Boss ME-90 Noise Suppressor (NS)
Essential to clamp high-gain hiss and ensure staccato thrash riffs remain dead silent between palm mutes
The Jackson JS22 stock high-output ceramic bridge humbucker closely tracks the aggressive bite of Mustaine and Friedman's Seymour Duncan JBs. On the ME-90, we set the AIRD preamp to Stack Crunch with moderate gain and push it using the OD block (Drive near minimum, Level boosted) to emulate the classic SD-1 into JCM800 gain stacking. Mids are slightly cut at 4 to deliver that trademark 1990 thrash punch without disappearing into the mix. For Marty Friedman's iconic guitar solo: kick on ME-90 DELAY (tape style, 350ms, low mix) and switch to the neck pickup for fast arpeggios.
