01FX1: EQ (Parametric/Graphic)
Position before preamp block to mimic the Furman PQ-3 preamp boost and 1kHz mid-scoop
02NS: Noise Suppressor
Essential to clamp the extreme solid-state gain and prevent hiss
The Boss GT-1 SOLID STACK preamp replicates Dimebag's high-gain Randall solid-state front end. Setting the mid control to 2 delivers the signature 'V-shape' scoop, while boosted treble and presence simulate the razor-sharp high-end attack of the Bill Lawrence L-500XL bridge pickup. For the clean acoustic-like intro, switch the preamp block to CLEAN TWIN with a touch of chorus.
