Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier (Modern channel), Fender Telecaster with active EMG humbuckers, Fender Twin Reverb (clean intro/verses)

01Green JRC / Tube Screamer Block
Used strictly as a clean boost to tighten the flubby low-end of the Recto model and push the Strat single-coil attack
02Graphic EQ Block
Post-amp block to sculpt the modern post-grunge scoop and add punch to the single coil
Because you are using a single-coil Strat instead of active humbuckers, the Green JRC overdrive block is placed in front with Drive at 0 and Level high to push and tighten the HeadRush Treadplate Modern amp model. The slightly scooped mids and elevated treble replicate the massive 2000s Mesa wall of sound without getting shrill. Clean verse: bypass the drive block and switch amp model to 'Black Deluxe' or roll guitar volume down to 3.
