RECOMMENDED — not owned (essential for the signature expressive solo sweeps)
The amp model provided is unrecognized, so universal control positions are provided and non-standard tone knobs are nulled. Because a clean amp platform cannot reach the saturation of Kirk Hammett's modded Mesa Mark IIC++ lead channel on single coils, amp gain is set clean at 2 while relying on an external high-gain distortion pedal recommendation. The Stratocaster's bridge single-coil is bright, so filter and treble controls are kept balanced around 4-6 to prevent excessive high-end harshness.
