01Ibanez Tube Screamer Mini
BOOST — tightens low-end and injects the essential Randy Rhoads mid-hump into the amp's British voice
The Champion 20 lacks a dedicated mid knob, so the Tube Screamer Mini is set with low drive and high level/tone to provide Randy's signature 1kHz mid-range push into the British voice. On your Squier Stratocaster, roll the bridge pickup tone back slightly to 8 to soften single-coil icepick while retaining the sharp Marshall attack. Keep bass moderate at 5 so the compact 8-inch speaker does not flub out under the boosted front end.
