01DigiTech RP90 - Amp Model Block
The RP90 has a '01 Mesa Dual Rectifier model—USE THIS as your primary amp voice, run into HB-20R set completely clean
02DigiTech RP90 - TS9 Tube Screamer Model
Stack BEFORE the Rectifier model in your RP90 chain—this tightens the low end and adds midrange focus, replicating Tony Perry's signal chain
03DigiTech RP90 - Noise Gate
Essential for tight palm mutes and reducing noise floor on high gain
04DigiTech RP90 - Digital Delay
Subtle slapback for leads only—bypass for rhythm parts
Your HB-20R is a small practice amp—set it COMPLETELY CLEAN (gain 0-1, all EQ at 5) and use it purely as a power amp for your RP90's Rectifier model. The RP90's Mesa model does the heavy lifting; the Telecaster's single coils are brighter and lower output than EMGs, so I raised mids +1 and cut treble -1 on the model, and rolled your tone knob to 8 to tame the single-coil ice pick.
