01Green JRC (TS-style OD Block)
Used as a clean mid-boost in front of the amp model to tighten the D-standard low end
02Graphic EQ Block
Post-amp block: cut 250Hz slightly (-2dB) to eliminate mud, slight bump at 2.5kHz (+2dB) for pick attack
03Air Reverb Block
Subtle room reflection matching Bob Rock's tight studio production
The Headrush Prime runs direct into your flat-response FRFR-112, so the amp model and cab block handle the entire Marshall José-mod tone stack. Mick tuned down a full step to D standard, which can get tubby; using the onboard Green JRC block with drive near zero and level pushed tightens the Schecter humbuckers against the low-end flub. A mild bump at 2.5kHz in the post-EQ block replicates the crisp bite of the original multitracked rhythm cuts.
