01Noise Gate block (built-in)
Enable before amp block to tighten palm mutes
02Graphic EQ block (built-in)
Post-amp block in chain — accentuates the mid-scoop at 800Hz characteristic of the Rectifier tone
Your Jim Root Tele has active EMG pickups matching the modded Teles used on the record — no gain compensation needed. The GX-100 RECT VNT model nails the Dual Rectifier sag and scoop. Mid set to 3 (vs original 5) because the Boss Rectifier model is slightly more mid-forward than the real amp; the GEQ 800Hz cut reinforces the signature scoop. Presence at 5 keeps the fizz in check on the digital model.
