In front of Spark Mini to tighten the low-end flub and focus the attack (clean boost metal tightening)
The Spark MINI lacks a physical presence knob on its faceplate, so presence is nulled. Because your Squier Strat has brighter single coils compared to the thick humbuckers used on the original recording, tone is rolled down to 8 and treble is kept at 5 while mids are held at 5 to fatten the core riff. The TS Mini acts as a classic clean boost in front to tighten the low end before the high-gain Treadplate amp model.
