01Boss DS-1 Distortion
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. This is your gain source; the Frontman stays clean. Any affordable distortion pedal (DS-1, MT-2, Joyo Metal Zone clone) will work.
The Frontman 10G is a 10-watt practice amp with a 6-inch speaker and no presence or reverb controls — it cannot produce high-gain metal tones from its preamp alone. Amp gain is set to 3 (near-clean platform) because a distortion pedal must be the sole gain source. Mid is pushed to 6 (vs the original's scooped sound) because the small speaker lacks low-end authority; compensating with mids preserves note definition on palm mutes.
