01Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor
Set mode to Reduction to clamp pickup hiss before the drive stages.
02Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive
Used as a tightening front-end boost into the Crunch model to add attack.
03MXR M108S Ten Band EQ
Pushes 1kHz-2kHz cutting frequencies while pulling sub-bass flub.
The Spider IV Crunch model captures the 90s British crunch tone, but its digital preamp can run hot and fizzy, so gain is kept moderate at 6. Your JS32 high-output humbuckers have significantly more output and low-mid heft than single-coil grunge rigs, which is why the SD-1 runs with low drive and high level while the MXR EQ trims 125Hz to prevent muddy saturation. Note that the Spider IV 75 faceplate does not feature a dedicated presence knob, so power-amp presence is omitted. Clean verse: roll your guitar volume knob down to 6 and step on the SD-1 to bypass it.
