01MXR Distortion +
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. Essential for Randy's signature clipping buzz.
02MXR 10-Band Graphic EQ
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. Boost 500Hz-800Hz to dial in Randy's iconic mid-hump.
The Flatsone 10 is an unrecognized compact practice amp with basic 2-band EQ (no dedicated mid control or presence), so mid and presence are set to null while drive is pushed to 8 on the gain channel to deliver usable hard-rock saturation today. Single-coil pickups on the Squier Bullet are naturally brighter and thinner than Randy's Gibson Les Paul humbuckers, so keep the amp's bass at 5 to prevent harshness while maintaining bite with treble at 7. Adding an MXR Distortion + or TS-style overdrive pedal in front will instantly provide the true aggressive clipping character this small amp cannot achieve alone.
