01M-Vave MK300 Overdrive Block (TS/OD Mode)
Used as a clean mid-boost into the high-gain amp model to tighten low-end
Your P90 pickups naturally provide thick midrange and biting attack similar to Ray Toro's humbucker setup. On the M-Vave MK300, select a British high-gain model and use the internal overdrive block as a tight boost (low gain, high level) to replicate the tight tracking of the studio recording. Keep the master and presence moderately bright to match the signature top-end bite without becoming overly harsh with single-coil style P90s.
