RAT-style circuit is your sole gain source — amp stays clean. Filter at 6 preserves Bellamy's mid-forward bite without ice-pick highs. This gets you 70% of the VH4 saturation character.

Why these settings

The Peavey Ecoustic E208 is an acoustic amplifier with no distortion channel, no presence control, and a voiced-for-acoustic EQ — it cannot produce high-gain tones alone. The Rude Mouse RAT clone becomes your entire gain stage; amp set near-clean as a power platform. Raised mid +1 vs typical RAT use to compensate for the Ecoustic's scooped acoustic voicing. Rolled treble down from Bellamy's bright Diezel settings because the Ecoustic's piezo-optimized treble can get harsh with distortion pedals.

PRO TIPBellamy's attack on this track is aggressive downstrokes with the pick angled slightly — dig in hard on the low strings to get that percussive chunk the Diezel delivers naturally. Your Les Paul's hotter output helps here; don't back off the volume knob.
