01Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned (run into Clean channel if acquired)
Since you don't own Frusciante's core Boss DS-2 pedal, the amp's OD-2 channel is engaged to generate the required heavy, mid-focused saturation directly. The MG30CFX lacks a physical presence knob (left null), so upper treble is kept at 6 to match the Stratocaster bite on your AZ2204 neck single coil. If you acquire a DS-2 in the future, switch the Marshall to Clean with gain at 2-3 to avoid muddy double-gain stacking.
