01TANK-G (Preamp Module - High Gain / Lead)
Set as main high-gain thrash preamp block; bypass cab sim when plugged into Frontman input
02TANK-G (Noise Gate)
Tightens fast palm-muted thrash chugs and cuts single-coil hiss
The Frontman 10G lacks a mid control and presence control and will turn muddy or fizzy on high gain, so the TANK-G provides the entire British high-gain thrash crunch into the amp's clean channel with amp gain kept low. The Stratocaster's bridge single-coil is naturally brighter and thinner than Mustaine's high-output humbuckers, so mids are pushed to 6 and treble dialed back on the TANK-G to add body and tame harshness.
