01MXR Custom Badass '78 Distortion
Used as a clean mid/treble boost to tighten the Marshall preamp; Crunch button off
The DSL40CR's Ultra Gain OD1 channel already provides the exact mid-2000s Marshall JCM2000 voicing Ray Toro and Frank Iero tracked with. The MXR Custom '78 is set with near-zero distortion and high output to act as a tight front-end boost, focusing your high-output Jackson humbuckers into the amp without creating muddy double-gain. Set the DSL40CR's Resonance control around 5 to retain low-end thump on palm mutes without flubbing out.
